The Disciples of Christ

Colossians 2:16-23

The Disciples of Christ — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 15:29:16 +0000

¹⁶ Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. ¹⁷ These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. ¹⁸ Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. ¹⁹ They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

²⁰ Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: ²¹ “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? ²² These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. ²³ Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Proverbs 16:16-19

The Disciples of Christ — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:43:23 +0000

¹⁶ These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
¹⁷ A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
¹⁹ A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

Preeminence of Christ

The Disciples of Christ — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 05:04:14 +0000

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood,[c] the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
—Col 1:9-18—

God’s power is His voice

The Disciples of Christ — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:10:29 +0000

¹ Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

³ The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.
⁷ The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
⁸ The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
⁹ The voice of the LORD twists the oaks

and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
¹¹ The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.

A blessing from the LORD is upon the person who neither follows the wicked nor goes with them to do sins.
A righteous person :
1. loves the LORD
2. Delights in pleasing the LORD
3. Likes to think in ways to please the LORD at all time
4. Is like a tree that is well taken care of
The LORD knows everyone who is living a righteous life and will watch over them, but the wicked people will be lost. They will perish.

***ASK YOURSELF: AM I RIGHTEOUS? IF THE ANSWER IS NO, PLEASE READ PSALM 1.

Universal and Local Church

The Disciples of Christ — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 04:15:41 +0000

To begin our study on church we will first distinguish the two types of church mention in Mathew.

The church Universal(Mathew 16:18-20), which is the body of Christ
1. First mention in v.18
2. Build by Christ
The church Local (Mathew 18:15-20)
1. The local church is small and replica and a part of universal church
2. There must discipline
3. Example, church in Judea(Acts 9:31), church of Asia(2Cor.8:1)

NEW CREATION

The Disciples of Christ — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:01:28 +0000

2 Corinthians 5:14-18

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
¹⁶ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thusno longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ Now all thingsare of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
