Not Rebuilt, But New With Warranty

Contributed by Ervin Kimrey on Dec 4, 2005

Some of us are living in a way that was not Jesus’ plan for us. The Christian walk is not one of patching up our old lives. Nor is it adding some commands to our old lives. Jesus’ plan for us is to have a brand new life.

A New Kind Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 30, 2005

Jesus’ new kind of righteousness is based on: 1. Internals rather than externals. 2. Transformation rather than avoiding transgressions. 3. A relationship rather than rules.

Is that all we are, “just forgiven”? Is there no more to it than that? Do we, in the ...read more
