Finished Romans today. There are some absolute gems in this one.
Romans 5
Romans 8
The part about obeying the government was a miss, but my guess is that its a miss in translation. Overall would recommend.

I think the government was less systematically evil back then. Like at the end of the day they still wanted most of their citizens to live and have children and what not.
I am still watching this documentary and it's absolutely insane the evil within the highest level of government these days.
Finished Ephesians.
Short and sweet. Some very quotable verses and warrior mentality.
