Welcome to this enlightening instalment of Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. In today's broadcast, we delve into the complex topic of cultural distortions within Christianity, particularly the notion that a mere affirmation of being on a 'spiritual journey' is sufficient for salvation.

Pastor Colin continues to explore what it genuinely means to embark on a spiritual journey, deciphering common misconceptions and offering crucial insights into the essence of being saved. Through the message, we learn that salvation involves far more than just belief—it requires a definitive return to Jesus Christ as the Shepherd, the Overseer, and the Lord of our lives, guiding us towards a path of righteousness.

The broadcast is anchored in 1 Peter chapter 2, where we are reminded that stray sheep can indeed return to their Shepherd, who graciously watches over their souls. It is an invitation to shed the spiritual equivalent of stuffing one’s wealth under the mattress and instead, trust our souls to the care of Jesus Christ, who promises a life of growth and prosperity under His guidance.
