ADVICE

Measure Faith By Steady Obedience

  • Seek ongoing Bible hunger and respond to the Holy Spirit's conviction as proof of genuine faith.
INSIGHT

Christ's Example Replaces Old Freedom

  • Follow Christ's example as the model for Christian behavior, not merely rules or cultural Christianity.
  • Abiding in Christ reshapes daily responses and turns former freedoms into new responsibilities.
ADVICE

Check Your Heart For Brotherly Love

  • Do examine your love for other believers as a key test of walking in the light.
