Life and Doctrine

It is time to look at what we believe.

"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do,
you will save both yourself and your hearers."
1Timothy 4:16

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:5

If God, alive in the flesh in Christ Jesus,
could put aside His Divinity,
to live and experience the things of humankind,
surely man,
alive now in Jesus Christ,
can put aside his human understanding,
to live and experience
the things of God.
