In these blogs, we’ll talk about standing firm in faith, in a fall-away world. Our foundation will be Scripture, and our goal will be its application, here and now.
To be clear – the journey of wholeness begins with grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8).
This awesome gift of grace also calls out for our active participation.

The apostle Paul, who writes of the grace we’ve received, also calls us to be strong in the Lord, to armor up, and to stand firm in faith (Ephesians 6:10-20).
We’re called to action.
