The Epistle to the Romans
"I don't know any letter that is
more fundamental and foundational than Paul's letter to the Romans.
It is unquestionably the greatest of all of Paul's letters and
the widest in its scope. It is most intent and penetrating in
its insight into the understanding of truth; therefore, it is
one of the books of the New Testament that every Christian ought
to be thoroughly familiar with. If you haven't mastered the book
of Romans and aren't able to think through this book without
a Bible before you, then I urge you to set that as your goal.
Master the book of Romans -- be so acquainted with it that you
can outline it and think of its great themes without a Bible
open before you. That requires reading it and studying it and
thinking it through in careful detail. I think it is safe to
say that Romans probably is the most powerful human document
that has ever been penned." -- Ray C. Stedman

God
is not impressed by our bravado, by our assertions that we have
what it takes, by our attempts to face into the wind alone. Heaven
does not help those who help themselves; heaven helps the helpless.
Heaven helps the man who is crushed in spirit, who is brokenhearted,
who is not counting on himself; heaven helps the one who is willing
to expose his fears and be what he is--a weak, fragile vessel
greatly in need of the power of God in his life. --Ray C. Stedman
