The Spiritual Life #98 - Divine Guidance As An Experiential Blessing - Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The spiritual life cannot be fully understood or lived until the believer grasps the distinction between positional truth and experiential truth. Learning God’s Word is always the starting point for the Christian way of life (1 Pet 2:2; 2 Tim 3:16–17). Until the believer orients to what God has already accomplished at initial salvation, he cannot discern what God now expects in fellowship (Rom 6:3–11).

The Spiritual Life #95 - The Marks of Spiritual Maturity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spirituality assumes spiritual life. A person receives spiritual life through the regenerating work of God the Holy Spirit at the moment he believes in Jesus as Savior (John 3:5-8; Tit. 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:3). Maturity, however, assumes spiritual growth. All Christians begin as spiritual infants (1 Cor. 3:1-2; 1 Pet. 2:2). This is normal. Remaining immature is not.

An Abbreviated Biblical Christology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This study provides an abbreviated biblical Christology centered on the Person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the eternal Son of God who added true humanity to Himself and now exists forever as the unique God-Man - undiminished deity and true humanity united in one Person. We will consider His eternal deity, incarnation and hypostatic union, identity as Israel’s promised Messiah, sinless life, substitutionary death, resurrection, ascension, and present ministry, as well as His future return
