2 Kings 4:1 and the Christian's duty of separation from this world's ways of thinking.

"Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21).

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This Christ-rejecting world despises those who do not conform, but to follow Christ means to come apart from this world and be separate. The world demands conformity to its favourite philosophies, for example, the idea that all religions are equally legitimate, that abortion is a woman’s right to choose, and that schoolchildren must be exposed to the LGBT agenda. As disciples of Christ, however, we are called to be separate. We love our non-believing neighbours, but the best way to show this love is to point them to Christ and to the need to escape from the sin and darkness of this unbelieving world. “Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Prayer : O Lord, grant us the grace not to conform to the mainstream worldview and to the fashions of our day, but to come apart and be separate.

Welcome to our community. The aim is to provide formal instruction in essential Christian doctrine for a right understanding of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Standing as I do in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation, this means that my foundation is the principle of ‘sola scriptura’, which is Latin for ‘by Scripture alone’. In other words, the Bible is our only authority, because it is the inspired word of God and totally without error. It is also our duty as Christians not to be remotely influenced by the fashionable philosophies of our contemporary society, which has generally turned its back on God and become anti-Christian in its character. Sadly many mainstream churches have feebly capitulated to the ‘woke’ forces of cultural Marxism. We rejoice in all the precious truths which the Bible teaches us, and my desire is to make these truths known to all who are serious about finding God, or who desire to serve Him more faithfully and mature in their understanding. So we recommend to you our 12 KEY DOCTRINES video-based course, which can be accessed in the CLASSROOM section. To see if this may be for you, there is a WELCOME VIDEO and a 30 minute free trial teaching video. May the Lord richly bless us, as we study His word together.
