Who is your shepherd?

This is a special episode for the sake of those who weren't in Sunday School last Sunday. It is an important truth to understand when discussing authority/submission, equality, the roles of man and woman, and how things can be true and not true at the same time.

Why did God save us?1. Because of His great love.2. So that He can show how good He is.

The problem is not what you do, but who you are. This is the true diagnosis. Christianity alone has the answer. The world has many answers, but not the truth.

The weight of words. Our tongue is a dangerous thing, therefore those who teach must be exceedingly careful. And there shouldn't be many of them.Fathers, mothers, employees, and employers, children and all others must guard their words and be careful to unleash unthoughtful, unloving, and uncaring words. Can the tongue be tamed?

The mystery has been revealed. Sin has broken apart man and Creator, man within himself, man and man, man and his body at death, the nations are divided, Israel is divided, and the church is divided. All these things, God has promised to unify in Christ ultimately. But it seems for unity to come, there must often first be war. Man seeks unity and they'll find it under the antichrist. The church needs unity, but it must be centered around the person of Jesus Christ and the truth of Him as revealed in the Scriptures.

Redemption in the Christian sense means purchasing. God has purchased His people with the precious blood of Christ. It had to be through violence, as the day of atonement showed us. Violence done equals violence needed to atone for sin. Having been redeemed, Christians must understand that they are not their own. They don't belong to themselves!
