Needing to be cleansed so as to be right with God (and enjoy his favour?) and able to come before the Lord. Well, clearly I need to know what he wants of me; “trust and obey” is key. Sincerity at least, integrity at best. Not everybody has one or the other or can afford. He …

LIFE WITH GODLeviticus 1-3, 7 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.” In this simple and direct manner, God sets out the rules and procedures that are necessary for a relationship …

THE MIND OF CHRISTLuke 18, 19 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; they will flog him and kill him. On the …

I think the bible is very clear about the 100% failure rate of our efforts in “rebirth and renewal” if we are doing so without the Holy Spirit. What the passage is clear about is that God has given us the greatest power possible—the Holy Spirit himself—for us to accomplish this, meaning that “rebirth and …

MERCYTitus 3 “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, …

WHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO SOUND DOCTRINETitus 2 “You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.” Paul does not tell Titus what he means by what is appropriate to sound doctrine but in the examples he gave we can see that it is to embrace good and reject evil. When we adhere to sound …
