Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome! With my new calling in my unity, my normal time for writing my blog posts has been interrupted. Stake Conference was today so I'm making the most of it to catch up!  These will be short, but one day I plan to add more detail. Top 3 things to think about in 1 Corinthians 8-13 1. 9:16 16  For though I preach the  a gospel , I have nothing to glory of: for  b necessity  is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I  c preach  not the gospel! Paul has a certain commission so there are things that apply to him that apply less to us. However, he is making a salient point: The Gospel needs to be preached - so much so that preaching it isn't necessarily a credit to your celestial account as much as it is a duty for the followers of Christ.  There are some who ask why Christians can't just keep christianity to themselves.

Top 3 things to think about in Romans 7-16 This may be one of the best sections of Paul's writings so it pains me to be so brief. I'm going to let Romans 8 take the cake for this reading 1. vs 15-17 - These very clearly spell out that we are children of God and that we can be co-heirs with Christ.
