WHAT ABOUT KEN PAXTON???

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Attorney General Ken Paxton has been a friend for many, many years and has been endorsed numerous times in the LINK Letter.

There is no doubt that Ken, through his staff at the AGs office, has accomplished much for Texas. This is worthy of applause.

But did the filing for divorce by Angela Paxton change the equation? Angela Paxton cited adultery as the reason, basing her decision on Biblical grounds.

FIRSTFRUITS OF JESUS AND HOPE IN THE EMPTY TOMB

Discussed by Dr. David Capes
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)

Day 3

Dr. David Capes subs in for Mark Lanier this week, still teaching on the Book of Romans with a look at Romans 8:23-24. He will be encouraging us each day to look for the hope that we have in Jesus, the empty tomb, and the glorious future that awaits us in heaven.

To view Dr. David Capes’ video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

WE GROAN: FIRSTFRUITS PARADOX ((Romans 8:23)

Is the resurrection of Jesus “firstfruits”? (1 Corinthians 15:20)

Is there something “wrong” with us if we, as Christ-followers, feel a longing for something more or seek something else for our life? What is in the gap between what is and what will be? Listen closely as Dr. David Capes reminds us of the farmer who had good seed, but the enemy planted weeds among his crops. What happened? Are we like good seed living among the weeds?

How are we part of God’s forever family? Is our adoption complete yet? (Romans 8:15)

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Patient Father Above,

You are longsuffering, not wanting anyone to perish.

Withhold your indignation towards those who say they are holy and are not. Instead of pouring out your wrath upon them, reach out again and again with your Holy Spirit, calling them to repentance.

May the evil doers have no platform from which to deceive the innocent. Expose their evil deeds for all to see and to understand how detestable and abominable their wicked ways are in your eyes.

There is no place in heaven for their evil, wicked deeds.

I am just a sinful man, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. O Hallelujah! I am saved forevermore.

Today, in word and deed, use me to further the Kingdom here on earth. May I bountifully sow seeds which will lead to an abundant harvest.

All for the cause of Christ,

Amen
