Ever run across a book you just can’t put down?  I ordered some books for school last week and couldn’t resist adding a book that’s been on my wishlist for a few months.  Bruce Longenecker’s book The Lost Letters of Pergamum: A Story from the New Testament World was one of those I couldn’t put down.

(2 Timothy 1:9-10) Phillips Translation

For he has rescued us from all that is really evil and called us to a life of holiness – not because of any of our achievements but for his own purpose.   Before time began he planned to give us in Christ Jesus the grace to acheive this purpose, but it is only since our savior Christ Jesus has been revealed that the method has become apparent.

Structure, framework, foundation, plans, methods, strategy; these words are very important to me.   Plans give us direction to reach the goals we have set for ourselves.   If we have no plans, we usually end up someplace other than where we hoped to be.  »»
