Yesterday I was discussing Isaiah 44 with someone, going over the questions I had written for Week 18 (2023).

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GODRomans 2:1-3:31 “All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law …

WHO THEN IS LIKE ME?ISAIAH 44:1-46:2 No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, “Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to …

Last week I wrote a devotion on 2 and 3 John and in the reflection at the end, I entitled it “The battle for truth”.
