"As believers in Christ we are complete in Christ. So many don't realize that and they continue to search for something new. "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority."

Take a stand in this world and proclaim along with Peter: "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." * What advise do you have for someone starting to go out to evangelize? * Does it take time to get to know Jesus?

"When a temple was dedicated in the past, it was filled with the presence of God. On the day of your salvation, you were filled with the same spirit that filled the temple. That means God has showed up in your life. No matter what we go through, He is with us. We have been fused together with Christ, joined together as one. With that as our reality, we can change our thinking and live with great expectation.
