I Timothy 3:14-15

I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.

The church is the true counter-culture.

ENGAGE IN THE BATTLE!

“God hides the treasure of his heavenly wisdom in frail earthen vessels, that he may have a more certain proof of the esteem in which his truth is held by us.”

The same Jesus who had mercy on you in the beginning will never cease to delight in showing you mercy

Beware of seemingly “biblical” teaching if it doesn’t promote love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

In God’s grace, REBUKE is an attempt to RESCUE with a heart to RESTORE

Romans 14:14-17

14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom Culture is established through men who embody truth in their creeds and their deeds, in their beliefs and their behaviors
