When it comes to walking the Christian life, we can find few better examples of how close a saved sinner can walk with God than the Apostle Paul. Unlike the other Apostles, Paul did not spend years as an eyewitness to the earthly ministry of Jesus. He learned about Jesus through the Old Testament. He studied, applied, repented, and lived the gospel.
This week we begin a new series of episodes focusing on the most biographical section of Paul’s writings, 2 Corinthians 2:12-6:10. These show us not just what Paul did, but what realities drove his decisions and actions.
Jesus gives us the command to “Follow Me,” but how do we know what that looks like. Paul is a wonderful example and he provides a pattern for us. To that end, we seek to follow the follower to walking in the footsteps of Jesus.

This is the fifth and final episode of John Snyder and Steve Crampton discussing revival. Last week they introduced a little book called The Causes of the Lord’s Wrath against Scotland Manifested in His Sad, Late Dispensations. In that book, Presbyterian pastors across Scotland joined together to discuss why God’s wrath was being poured out on Scotland. They didn’t point to the rebellious culture, but to themselves and their own sins.

To aid in their repentance, they pointed out particular sins they were guilty of and then joined together in congregational repentance. In this episode, John and Steve pick some of the confessions they find most applicable to our day and time.
