Hades
Some additional thoughts about the text used in the message at SSB yesterday: 1 Peter 4:4-6 reports on “those” who think ill of God’s people - those upper story people who no longer join in the doings, thinking, and chatter of the world, but are about following the will of God.

Inheritance
Saturday we had a funeral for Ken Clipperton’s mother, Betty Fitzgarrald, with a number of family talking about her compliance to the charge found in Philippians 2:3-4: Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Free Will?
