The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”
The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.
This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

Col 1:24-29; Col 2:1-23. Personal calling from God, Luk 9:23. 7 Qualities of a faithful minister. The believer's greatest ability is "availability." 3 things every believer is: priest, 1Pe 2:5-9; ambassador,2Co 5:17-21; minister, 1Co 12:4-7. Stand firm in the faith when assaulted by the enemy. The enemy's strategy: rationalism, intellectualism, legalism, mysticism.
