I think you articulated some of what I was thinking but was not able to put into words.Todd Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689379557442795293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12706599.post-1123518094952876262005-08-08T11:21:00.000-05:002005-08-08T11:21:00.000-05:00Great words, Todd.

If Paul had known that this letter (or any of his letters) would eventually become cannonized, I can imagine how difficult it would be for his human spirit to keep from making it more or different than it needed to be.<BR/><BR/>If I knew a letter I wrote was to be shared with millions and millions of people, I'd never get it written for fear of saying anything wrong!<BR/><BR/>I *love* that all God calls us to is obedience. Paul was being obedient to his calling by sheparding these churches (even from afar) through his letters, and as you said, because it was God breathed, it applies to us today.<BR/><BR/>I love how God does that.palomitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216064437706513211noreply@blogger.com
