Stand Fast

. Stand Fast in the Liberty – Decision

Galatians 5:1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm,  then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

. Stand Fast in the Faith – Devotion

1 Corinthians 16:13

Be on your guard; stand firm  in the faith; be courageous; be strong.    Do everything in love.

. Stand Fast in the Lord – Discipleship

Philippians 4:1

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for,  my joy and crown, stand firm  in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

. Stand Fast in One Spirit – Unity

Philippians 1:27

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy  of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm  in the one Spirit, striving together  as one for the faith of the gospel

Daily Living

The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees. — Psalm 119:64

Sometimes we get so caught up in the wonders of God's creation and the marvellous blessings of his grace we forget to ask him to teach us his truth. Let's not only worship him in awe for his majestic creation, but let's also worship him by learning his will and seeking to live it in our daily lives.

Oaths

Matthew 5:33-37

  “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,  but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’    But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:  either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;    or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.    And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.   All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;  anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
