Picture yourself at Jesus’ feet with the forgiveness of God making all things new in your life. Mary has much to teach us about adoration, devotion, and living our life at the feet of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ. She came to Jesus with a humble heart and made wise decisions that were based on her spiritual priorities. The result was praise from the Lord.Gene Cunningham - February 13, 2000
Cross to the Crown #8
Six general Christian responsibilities stem from the works of Grace (Tit 2:11) -- Eternal Life (Rom 6:23, Tit 3:4); God's Grace appeared to teach us; in this God is often silent in our tests so we learn what to leave, how to live (righteously), and what to look for ("the blessed hope") and zealous for good works. (1) Every believer must engage in Bible study (1Ti 4:13; 1Ti 3:16); (2) Confession of sin -- key to fellowship (Pro 28:13); (3) Effective prayer (Eph 6:18, Jam 5:16); (4) Witnessing (1Pe 3:15); (5) Giving (2Co 9:7); (6) Fellowship and communion -- maintaining unity (Eph 4:1-7).

From Series: "The Cross to the Crown"
To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
