Steve brings us an update on Manitou Lake Bible Camp, as well as a message for Father's Day.

If this world will ultimately perish, how should we be living today?

2 Peter starts off with character traits that develop when we accept the fruit of the Spirit and live in our Faith. We need to add and keep advancing these qualities in our lives.

Various boundary markers or tests for believers (such as circumcision in the Bible) should not matter. Insisting on such "rules" as something that counts rejects God's plan for reconciling humanity with each other and with God. What matters is a new creation through circumcision of the heart, and faith expressing itself in love.

What is shaping us? Whose marks are we trusting? Freedom rooted in Christ creates a new kind of people.

God's Promise came first and the law came second. The law doesn't cancel the Promise; it doesn't replace God's Grace. It reveals how much we need His Grace.

No-one has ever been justified through the works of the law, but only through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law.

How do you know that the gospel you believe is true and complete? In his letter to the Galatians, Paul is clear that the gospel he preaches is the whole gospel as revealed to him by God. It needs nothing added to it; it is whole and perfect.

The Creation story has many parallels throughout the book of John, showing that Jesus is the new Adam who has redeemed creation with His life.
