We love Jesus and believe that Jesus Christ is living in us (Colossians 3:4) and growing in us (Ephesians 2:21-22). We very much enjoy Jesus!
The Bible is the living Word of God. It is not a book of dead letters, but it is God’s fresh speaking to us, day by day. The Bible is not just for our doctrinal study, but for our daily eating and being nourished by Christ (John 6:35; Matthew 4:4; Jeremiah 15:16). God’s Word is good for food, we just need to taste and see!
