Description
There is treasure hidden in Paul's thirteen letters, but the path to find it is not obvious. Here is a tip: in the Bible, Paul's letters are not sequenced in chronological order. The Bible rarely gives us specific dates about events it addresses, which can be frustrating for modern audiences. As an example, this is a very brief timeline of the first four decades of Christianity that is probably correct to within a few years:
27 AD to 30 AD: Ministry...

Like some of his other epistles, this seems to have been written because of reports Paul had heard of the internal state of the church there.

The power and significance of the prayer Jesus taught.
Most Christians know the Lord's Prayer by heart. We pray it often, at different times and in different settings. We remember it as the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. But do we really understand and appreciate the meaning and power of its words, what we ask of God each time we pray it?
When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Jesus gave them this prayer. He likely taught it to his...
