Teaching the Faith

“Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Colossians 3). What could we possibly have to say to the people “adulting” in such a world and such a time like this? “What shall I cry? All flesh is like grass… the grass withers and the flower fades; but the Word of our God will stand forever” (Isaiah 40). Start with the Word of God; the same Word Who took up our weak flesh; the same Word Who bore our sins in His body on the cross; the Word of Christ, who lives, and which raises the dead. It endures when everything else, even when I myself, fail. And ask everything in Jesus’ Name, confident that in Him all the promises of God are “yes” and “Amen.”
