“We have to be continually reminded of what we believe, neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain in the mind. It must be fed.” – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Hebrews 10:16
“This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
Romans 8:6

We have to be intentional to eat the message of God, in Christ, by the Spirit.
The church is the Kingdom of God in the earth, and it is where we are fed the message of God.
