At a church I served there was a man who could not stand our sound. He stayed out of the service until the music was over. He was not fighting me about it. I did not win him over on that topic. I won him over as a person. None of it is on Paul's list.

A couple of episodes ago Paul made a list of what could reach you. This is the other list, and he closes it with a catch-all: nor any other created thing. Your name belongs right there. You are a created thing. You have spent a long time wondering whether you are the exception, whether the thing that finally separates you from God turns out to be you.

Anchored in Romans 8:38-39. This closes a verse-by-verse season through the interior-life chapter of the New Testament.
