Marriage is a blessed gift, and it is one that is sealed by the most sacred of promises humans can make to each other, and it is a covenant that God takes extremely seriously.

The past is not our future, so do not submit to its permanence in your present.

The Christian Bible is the most important and only certain source of our knowledge of God and of His intention for us and for all creation.  Those who wrote these texts did not write out of their own interpretations, but they wrote as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.  But, the Christian Bible is not God.

We are now the body of Jesus, and faithfulness to that commitment has become who we are.

We regularly study and actively embody the teachings of the Christian Bible.  To do anything else is to embrace a faulty dianoia--it is to reject the very centrality of Jesus that Paul believed to be the foundation of all that is Christian.

As in the days of Moses and Korah, the truth of God's election will one day be known, but on the day He makes the truth known clearly, it will be too late for those who have rejected His prophets and Apostles.

All that God has promised, God will bring to completion if we continue in our faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.

When Jesus had opportunity to minister God's grace in a context that might have sullied His reputation, He did not stay away out of fear of what people might think.

To become a Christian is to enter into peace with this God, the only God, the God of all creation.  It means reunion with this God through and in Jesus, the Messiah.

We know we are in God's will if we are bearing fruit in every good work, if we are growing in our knowledge of God, if we are being strengthened by God's power as evidenced in endurance and patience, and if we are loving God, giving thanks to God, with the ways we live in this world.
