The Grace and Apostleship We Have Received, a Reflection on Romans 1:1-7

How good a job did Paul do? How are we doing on that apostleship and obedience that we are called to exhibit?

I have been reading this year's Advent study, Blessings of the Manger by Jeanne Torrence Finley, and recommend that you do, too.

For example, here are some questions that she poses for us that arise from this reading from Romans:

Where are our loyalties, and how do they define us?
What do our checkbooks tell us about what we value and to whom we give our allegiance?
What do our to-do lists say about our loyalties? What do our calendars and appointments tell us about what we value most?
