Take This To Heart

The Prayer of Jesus Highlights the Fact That Biblical Christianity is an

“Out of This World” Faith Designed to Be Lived Out “In This World.”

 

Rather Than Making Us Less Engaged in This World

Our Faith and Knowledge of Who/What Waits for Us Out of this World…

 

…Allows Believers (as We Abide in Christ) to be “Steadfast, Immovable, Always Abounding in the Work of the Lord, Knowing That Our Toil is

Not In Vain in/because of the Lord (Who He Is/What He Has Done and What He Will Do).”
