There is the Old Testament, the New Testament and there is YOU! Our
Life is to be so permeated by, and changed by the word of God that - like the
Holy Scriptures, our whole life speaks of God's presence in us.
Ezekiel 3:1 Says "...eat this scroll: then go and speak..." That
is some powerful imagery. The work of God is to be so internalized
that is becomes part of every cell in our body!
Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:3 Says "...you are a letter from Christ...
Written not with ink but with the Spirit of God, not on tablets of stone but
on tablets human hearts."
God speaks to people through people. That is why Jesus Christ
came as a human. He was speaking to people as a person. He was
setting the example for us.
Core Value #2 (Biblical application transforms lives.) As we
properly live out God's Word applied to our life, it transforms us.
Then we, as people regenerated by God's presence in us, go to work and into
our community; become the third testament.
