Many of us have probably either seen or heard of word studies in the Bible. Perhaps it was a preacher telling you about how God’s "agape” love is special and distinct from all the other types of love in the Bible. Or maybe it was a Bible teacher talking about how this particular Greek word is so...
While I was serving on mission in Brazil a few years ago, I wrote a devotional commentary on Romans 1 - 7 which I thought I would share here. It is not meant to be an academic commentary but rather was birthed out of my personal study and reflection while serving at Casa Semear, a project of ABBA...
