What is the fruit that evidences a truly regenerated person in Jesus Christ? The Apostle Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Cor 5:17) If we are new creations then there should be a new life lived as well.
The ultimate goal of the church biblically is not chiefly the public good, but the glory of God in the proclamation and advancement of His gospel. God, not the audience, is sovereign. The gospel, however, is a stumbling block, offensive and foolishness for those who are perishing.
This a tribute page for a dear friend within our church, Ms Joyce Beck, who went home to be with the Lord suddenly this past Friday. Please share a word of encouragement in the comment section. We’d love to hear from you.
1 Cor 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
“Had I feared the death of the cross, I should not have preached the majesty and glory of the Cross of Christ,” -Andrew, an early Christian
We live in a time where people say that Elvis lives and God is dead. We live in a generation that plants trees but uproots marriages. We live in a culture where individuals will bring nations together to save a few dying whales, but are swift to kill unborn babies. It’s against the law to post The Ten Commandments in public schools, but it’s responsible education for teachers to hand out condoms. Sin is now called sickness; disobedience is now called disease; and adultery is now called addiction–nothing more than extra-curricular political activity for the politicians. What’s the answer from this insanity?
Sin will keep you from this book, or this book will keep you from sin. Treasure the Word of God in your life and it will mold you to Jesus and His character everyday. Read these marvelous words by Thomas Watson on how to deepen your understanding of Scripture. It just might change your life!
