The book of Acts not only tells us what we must do to be saved but also what we must continue to do as members of the Body of Christ.

We continue our thought in Marks of Distinction. Building on the recent study of God, the creator and master of all, the Holy Bible, the coming of the Messiah and then those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to what they had committed. What of the word? We consider the purpose of the word, the plan of the word and where the challenges can lie.

Living our lives differently than we did prior to our conversion, in control, with focus, knowledge and patience.....

Marks of Distinction. Christ commissioned the apostles to go into all the world and spread the good news, converting all men that would receive that word. They did, and most paid a high cost in doing so. What would it take to convince (convict) one to go to the death many suffered - especially if it were not true? We consider the great cloud of witnesses that stand before us....

This is a continued study into the Psalms - this lesson focuses on the 37th Psalm - not getting caught up in the world and losing focus on what is most important.....

What separates us?

Belief in God, Belief in the Word, Belief in the Son.

We continue into the why that lies at the foundation of why we should believe.

Man has free will, yet we know that God Gifts man a spirit as part of his obedience. What does that do for man that he cannot do without that Spirit?

When considering the free will of man, how do we retain that when God is at work in our lives?

We can easily be distracted and lose sight of the thing most valuable. We look at Scripture from Luke 12 as Christ is interrupted to settle an issue in a family.

Christ used two illustrations to impress upon us the importance of our influence - light and salt. We consider the basic qualities of these two in application to our lives and those around us.
