We are to persist in harnessing hope as a means of defence against unfruitfulness and falling away from the faith.
We are God’s dwelling place on earth and only by fixing our hearts and minds on Jesus can we persevere to the end.
It is through the things we give up and the temptations that we resist that we find our voice and gain permission to speak truth and love into the lives of others.
The practical outworking of right belief and faith in Christ is balance and harmony in all spheres of our lives.
Our faith in Christ enables us to put to death our earthly nature, it enables us to forgive and to be remade in the image of our Creator.
We live in the space between the heart and the head, in the tension between this world and the next and the only in Christ can we make sense of it all.
