Embracing the Heredity of Holiness in Recovery

The journey of spiritual rebirth begins with acknowledging the need for change. The Holy Spirit guides this transformation by providing inner conviction, renewing the mind, and empowering individuals to adopt a new spiritual inheritance.

Heredity of Holiness: Finding Redemption and New Identity Galatians 1:15-16 A New Heredity – Sacred Sobriety: A Path for the Soul Imagine if our spiritual inheritance could shape the struggles we face with addiction. We believe the "Heredity of Holiness" isn't just a poetic concept, but a foundation for our journey in faith recovery. Our heredity in this sense implies that holiness, like any…

Spiritual Wisdom and Power (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)

“Wisdom” is the ability to take a body of knowledge and apply it to concrete situations in life.

By Bible Art When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the testimony of God to you with superior speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were made not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the…

At that time I placed before them exactly what I was preaching to the non-Jews.

The Church Playground (Galatians 1:6-12)

I’ll take Jesus the Teacher any day over the list-loving false teacher.

I’m surprised that you’re so quickly deserting Christ, who called you in his kindness, to follow a different kind of good news. But what some people are calling good news is not really good news at all. They are confusing you. They want to distort the Good News about Christ. Whoever tells you good news that is different from the Good News we gave you should be condemned to hell, even if he is one…
