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.

Upper Room Discourse #5

Upper Room Discourse #5

"Let" means permit God to do what He wants in us (Col 3:15-16). Aspects important when when we look at scripture: (a) we need honesty (humility) - He's the only One who can impact our lives; (b) accuracy - rightly dividing the Word; (c) assume relevance - what we read applies to us now; (d) what we read is practical - we need to obey the spirit behind the letter. The greatest promise in scripture: "You will see me: because I live, you will also"... "and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him" (Joh 14:19-21). The Word of Life is that which was manifested to John but can be to us (1Jo 1:1-4). Similarly, the Lord manifest Himself to Moses (Exo 33:12-23).
