1. Dr. Paulson discusses Augustine's turn toward a Law that does not accuse.
  2. We are discussing "I can do all things through Christ" in context of the rest of the passage, and then we discuss the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac (rather... not sacrificing him) and whether or not Christians are called to sacrifice. Is that what this passage is talking about?
  3. Luther is on a mission to wake up Erasmus and his sleeping God.
  4. Dr. Paulson continues the discussion on Erasmus's use of kindness.
  5. Jesus came not only for the sheep, but apparently for the dogs as well. You won't believe what happens when she asks for a favor.
  6. Dr. Paulson continues working through Paul's use of Exodus in his letter to the Romans.
  7. It's easy to look at our faith through an emotional lens. Are you on an emotional high, or an emotional low? Are you on a mountaintop, or are things silent in the valley? What happens to your faith when you aren't "feeling it."
  8. Dr. Paulson continues to talk about trial by observing the different ways the story of Abraham has been taught.
  9. Sow, Jesus seeds a parable and a pun, and lettuce understand. But when the corn grows, what ears hear and what ears don't?
  10. Jesus not only desires mercy, but gives mercy. Our sacrifices will never satisfy the demands of the Law, but Christ's sacrifice for us gives all the holiness the law requires.
  11. "Your faith has made you well" . . . except faith never believes in itself, but trusts only in its object, namely Jesus.
