Paul Intentionally Pursued Close Walk With Christ
Comments OffPaul’s passion to know Jesus personally supplied him with the strength that he needed to face many trials, obstacles, perils, and even persecution.

Our Likeness in Christ
Comments OffIn Ephesians 4:1, the Apostle Paul says that we are to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” The word vocation, makes the whole of life a spiritual business. Whatever we do in order to pay our bills, provide for shelter, food, clothing, and any other necessity of life, is considered an AD-vocation. However our Vocation is to live our lives for the salvation of souls, bringing the lost back to Him and in so doing to glorify Christ. We are called to be His witnesses. The only place a witness is needed is in this present world. It has been stated that Jesus was the visible expression of the invisible Father and we, as His children, are to be the visible expression of the invisible Christ, “because as he is, so are we in this world.”

Be Ye Holy; For I am Holy
Comments OffThe command, “Be ye Holy,” as every other command that God gives, pre-supposes an enabling in the power of sovereign grace. What He purposes for our lives He has provided and we can procure through the merits of Calvary.
