But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37

knowledge? love?
Even as we continue to grow deep in the Word, and learn more about our position and identity in Christ, there is a verse that keeps everything in perspective.
1 Cor 8:1
"... Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies."
Ever looked at the way someone behaves and thought to yourself, "So much for being a Christian.."?
Did that thought ever lead on to, "At least I'm not like that, I'm way above that.."?
Then you start to feel really pleased with yourself?
Thats what we would not want to see of ourselves. =)
We see that this verse draws an interesting comparison in contrast to the situation above; love edifies.
Love has to be the foundation, not only of the knowledge we have aquired, but of our very lives.
Let us encourage one another by loving each other, so that we can reach out to the people around us with that same love.
1 Peter 1:22
"Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart."
The Word teaches us, that we purify our souls (mind) by obeying the truth. And that love is the course of action that qualifies the fact that we are purifying our minds.
This love that the word talks about is elaborated in 1 Cor 13:1-8.
In the course of the weeks ahead, let us take time to meditate on the different characteristics of the love that Paul speaks of in the Word.

Vision
In the cell we desire to...have a firm and clear understanding of our positions in Christ.
maintain a close circle of trust and accountability; by being honest and accepting towards one another.
constantly growing deeper in the word; through the desire to have a deeper relationship with Christ, which leads to a hunger for His word.
create a platform where prebelievers can witness the love and power of God, through worship, fellowship, prayer and devotional sharings.
look beyond ourselves; by reaching out to unbelievers, as well as grooming the younger ones whom we have an influence over.
