Legacy of Truth: Generational Faith -Timeless Truths

  Spiritual Growth: Scripture is instrumental in our spiritual growth. It challenges us to grow in faith, love, and obedience. It encourages us to emulate the character of Christ and develop a deeper relationship with God through prayer, worship, and meditation on His Word. Examples of Renewed Minds in the Bible David—Psalm 119:11 David, often referred to as a man after God's own heart, provides us with a compelling example of a renewed mind in the Bible. In Psalm 119:11, he writes, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee" (KJV). Hiding God's Word in the Heart: David's commitment to hiding God's Word in his heart reflects the practice of meditating on Scripture. He didn't merely read it superficially; he internalized it, allowing it to become a part of his very being. This practice transformed his thought patterns, influencing his decisions and actions. Repentance: David faced numerous trials and temptations in his life, inclu...

  Scripture provides the foundation for our beliefs:  For the word of God  is  living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 The Word of God serves as the ultimate source of truth and provides the foundational beliefs that guide our understanding of God, salvation, morality, and the purpose of life. When we seek to renew our minds, we are essentially replacing worldly and often flawed belief systems with the unshakable truths found in Scripture. All Scripture  is  given by inspiration of God, and  is  profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Doctrinal Foundation: Scripture provides a solid doctrinal foundation for our faith. It answers fundamental...

  The Mind as a Battleground Our minds are indeed a battleground where a constant struggle between opposing forces takes place. This battle is central to the Christian journey, as it determines the course of our spiritual growth and our ability to live in alignment with God's will.  The human mind is naturally inclined towards self-preservation, pleasure, and self-gratification. Consequently, it tends to be receptive to worldly ideas and sinful thoughts. The world bombards us with messages that promote materialism, selfishness, and immorality. These ideas may be subtle or explicit, but they are always present in our surroundings – from advertisements to social media to conversations with peers. Without deliberate effort, we can easily absorb these ideas and find ourselves conforming to the values and behaviors of the world. Sinful thoughts can also originate from within us. Our fallen nature leads us to entertain thoughts of envy, lust, anger, pride, and other sinful inclinati...

  “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.  Romans (12:1-2) In Romans 12:2, the Apostle Paul encourages us not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. The word ‘renewing’ in the Greek means renovation. It means a complete change for the better. This transformation is essential for understanding and living out God's perfect will. He gives a clear directive to break free from worldly influences and conform our minds to God's perfect will.  Conforming vs. Transforming 1. Conforming to the world involves embracing the values, beliefs, and behaviors that dominate the surrounding culture and soc...

  How to Give a Testimony in Seven Points: 1. Keep it short. 2. Make it truthful.  3. Start with your life before you are saved. 4. Recognize that you were spiritually dead, share why you did what you did. Let them know that there was a loss of meaning, and purpose in your life, along with a lack of love, joy, and no peace. 5. Describing the need for spiritual fulfillment is how you began to search out spiritual things, and you came to the conclusion that you were looking for a person (Jesus) rather than an experience. 6. Then recount your genuine conversion experience, the need to confess that you are a sinner in need of a Savior and by faith receive the free gift of salvation. Give God thanks and praise! 7. Tell them about your experience as a new creation in Christ since He entered your life. Let them know how He has given your life a new meaning, filled with hope and purpose that you had never experienced before. Tell them you have a new outlook and are free from sin. Expl...
