I am often overwhelmed, with both gratitude and emotion, that God would choose me.

Every loving and committed parent, or parent figure, makes it a lifelong commitment to instruct, guide, and nurture in all of the Bible and Father God’s commands. For Christian believers, and those who desire to become so, we must know history…yes, but history is foundational, structural, and provides imagery, while doctrinal prerequisites sow into the soul, mind, spirit, and develops us God’s way. The Word improves us in all our ways and raises our spiritual standards through daily application. 

The prerequisites for God’s chosen are not negotiable. Fulfilling these prerequisites assures of the noted rewards. With God being our route to accountability to each other, we then become accountable to each other. I believe, by observation, that so many want others to be accountable to them, but without reciprocation. Are we surprised that churches are sick, diseased, dying and many are the walking-dead?

Thriving Christians, and church bodies, cleave to the Word of God, apply doctrine, and do and say everything because of our overall commitment to God by faith in the Lord Jesus.
