Holding to Truth » Podcast

This title expresses God’s desire expressed in Paul’s word in Ephesians 4:15, “But holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head Christ.” My desire expressed in this podcast is that we would not merely believe God’s word to be true, but be actively engaged in a daily practice of holding to all the real things revealed there. In Greek it literally means “truthing it.” “We may grow up into Him” indicates that “holding to truth” isn’t something just done by yourself. We need others who would hold to the truth with us. So in this podcast, I hope to engage others like yourself in “truthing it in love” so that we can encourage one another to grow up into Christ for the building up of Christ’s Body.

Podcast: The Practice of Pray-Reading God’s Word

One of the best ways a Christian can contact and enjoy God is to pray-read His Word. In John 6:63 , the Lord Jesus told us His words are spirit and are life. Thus, if we want to contact the Spirit and to receive life, we need to come to God’s Word. This is the best place to meet with God, to contact Him, to absorb Him, and to breathe Him in. When we do this, we’re nourished spiritually and receive the life supply for our Christian life. George Mueller had this to say about pray-reading God’s Wor...
