The List
Paul finishes his letter to the church in Rome with a list, not exactly best-seller material. His aim wasn't literary acclaim, although his work became influential; instead, he was interested in fostering and fortifying connections.
Reflecting on Paul's list may have you thinking about your own list: the people God has used in your life to bring you closer to Him.
