Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth” Ephesians 4:23-24   Putting on your new self does not require some type of herculean strength. Truly, putting on your new self is like accepting and putting on the beautiful robe of “righteousness and holiness of the truth” that God has created for you in Jesus Christ.   Your “new s

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him.” Colossians 3:10   Beloved child of God, this specific “true knowledge” that we are to be “renewed to,” as true Christians, which the apostle Paul wrote of, is none other then the “true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2: 2-3).   “

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him.” Colossians 3:10   Why is so important for us to consciously “put on the new self?” Because this is where our renewal is. This is where renewal takes place, in our “new self.”   When we “put on the new self,” we are, in effect, putting ourselves in the place of renewal.   There is certainly no renewal in our old self.   The

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17   In Jesus Christ you are a new creation. When you are actively aware of, and alive to, the fact of your being in Christ, that’s when you touch the truth of your new creation.   You’ve probably heard people talk about, and maybe you have experienced for yourself, the smell of a new book, or being insi

Today's Word Of Encouragement From Wayne:   Christmas!   This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to the birth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.  Mostly, we think about the manger in Bethlehem, the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks, the proclamation of the angels and, of course, the visit of the magi.   But do you ever think about why all this happened?  What was the meaning of these things?  Surely these are important events, for they inaugurated Jesus' li
