    The wisdom of God contains promises for living life to its fullest if we will but listen and follow in obedience.

    The Promises of Wisdom Proverbs 2:1-22 We live in a day when popular opinion says that “promises are made to be broken.” We continue to make promises, but they are broken every day. The reason that this has come about is because we are fallible human beings, sin has corrupted us at our core, and ...read more

    With the Gospel, believers are: 1) Armed with the Mind of Christ (1 Peter 4:1), 2) Armed with the Life of Christ (1 Peter 4:2), 3) Disarming the life before Christ (1 Peter 4:3-5), and 4) Armed because of the Judgement of Christ (1 Peter 4:6).

    1 Peter 4:1-6. [4:1] Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, [2] so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.

    Seeking God is a lifelong quest for every Christian.

    At the beginning of a new year, I like to get back to basics, to talk about the fundamentals of the Christian faith. What are we really doing here?

    Living In The Light Lane Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 4, 2021
     | 2,089 views

    John uses familial, language (e.g., children, young men, and fathers) to talk about the fellowship/koinonia, the church. These are terms to describe Christian maturity. The church is energized by a flow of those in each stage of maturity.

    Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more
