BOA #54 - A Place to Stand - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Elton Trueblood, the great Quaker theologian, liked to quote mathematician and inventor Archimedes who lived some two hundred and fifty years before Jesus was born. Archimedes was discussing the use of a lever and said, “Give me a place to stand and I can move the whole world.”

Trueblood then quoted the Apostle Paul, “Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand.” I Corinthians 15:1

The key to life-changing, life-sustaining experience is having the right place to stand.  Paul is telling us that the good news about Jesus and his resurrection, indeed Jesus himself, is that place to stand.
