The four crucial elements of the Bible are Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church. Without Christ there is nothing – Christ is the reality of all the positive things in the universe.

learning to take the inward parts of Christ Jesus as our own inward parts in caring for the church
What does the expression “the inward parts of Christ Jesus” mean? This morning we were praying over Phil. 1:8 and Col. 3:12 and I was encouraged to open to the Lord and allow Him to infuse me with His feelings, His desires, His emotions, His mind, His will – even to replace my inward parts […]
