Beloved of God and Called to Be Saints: Crumbs from Paul's Letter to the Romans (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997758900)

Beloved of God and Called to Be Saints is a collection of crumbs from Paul's letter to the Romans. The occasion for this epistle is his desire for the saints in first- century Rome to support his missionary work to Spain. To assure them that he is worthy of their support, Paul lays out before them his longest and most sustained theological explanation of the gospel. Thus, the theme of Paul's letter to the Church at Rome is the gospel's power to save the unrighteous and establish a flourishing humanity in the new age of Spirit-led liberty, a humanity that is united in and by Jesus Christ for the glory of God the Father.

Typically, crumbs will not sustain a person long term. To grow strong and live healthy, one must have milk and meat and bread and wine. But crumbs can offer sustenance for the in-between times. Even though crumbs are often just scraps, leftovers from the children's plates or food prep in the kitchen, there is nourishment in every morsel when they come from the Master's table. In fact, crumbs are not a substitute for the weekly meal of Word and Sacraments dished generously from the Lord's table on the Sabbath, but they are good for daily food; and they're great with a cup of coffee in the morning.

The Crumbs from Our Master's Table series is a daily morsel of theological soul food-not a sermon mind you-just a crumb of nourishment from Scripture, usually one or two verses at a time. These crumbs were originally emailed each morning to subscribers at Books and Letters (scottpostma.net).

They are collected here in a single volume to be read devotionally or as a simple commentary on a book of the Bible.
