    Faith "of" Christ Vs Faith "in" Christ

    Faith begins with & is worthless without, Christ's Faith as the foundation: Heb 12: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

    Hi guys, I'd love to hear opinions on this article - My Plea: Recognize Theosis The reason why comes in the form of a question. Question: Do you think 'theosis' pops up in different forms throughout Christianity, and throughout the ages, because the Holy Spirit is the one behind it? Or, the...

    The Standard

    The Greek word stauros means ‘stake’, ‘pole’ or ‘post’; but it is always translated ‘cross’ in the New Testament. When a banner or image is attached to a pole, it becomes a standard. This is the imagery from the Old Testament that Yeshua uses to teach on His purpose. John 3:14, 15. And as Moses...

    Struggling to Love God

    Hey, everyone-- First time posting, and I'm a bit nervous. I was raised in a Christian household and have gone to church most of my life. Now that I'm a young adult, I've become more evaluative of my place in the faith. Lifelong struggles with anxiety and insecurity have made this somewhat...

    Our One and Only

    Philippians 3:2-4a ESV Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— though I myself have reason for confidence in the...

    Total Surrender
