---------------------------------

Chris.

God's process in all of our lives is different. This is why we sometimes cannot understand something about each other. God's process always will bring a good and meaningful result in our lives. Christian community living is not God's Way for all people - it is the way for those whom God calls to it, community life can dampen the fire of God's process in a person's personal life, especially if they are not in the Will of God. Let us respond to God and to His Word, then we can experience His process in our lives, as the Bible says, from Glory to Glory.

Chris.

We can and should trust the Teaching of Jesus Christ. As we refer to the Gospels, we can learn so many things about life, and that can be applied to our lives from the Teaching of Jesus Christ. If in doubt about anything, refer to His Teaching; it is still relevant today. If the Church researched and taught more of the Teaching of Jesus Christ, it would be a purer and more stable Church.

(Selected from the late Reverend Chris Harrison's QT Bible Study Notes, by Priscilla)

'Hope.'

 'Hope.'

b) Definition in the New Testament: Hope means trusting God's Promises. It is some to 'seize hold of'.

c) Hebrews 6:18-18. Hold Fast Our Hope!

'So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.'

d) Job 6:8. Pray to God about our Hope! We can ask God for what we hope for.

"Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfil my hope."

"And now, Oh Lord, for what do I wait? My Hope is in You."

    " Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in Your Word."

f) Our Hope can be tested by the Principles of God's Word.

True Hope is godly because it comes from God; it can be tested by the Word of God.

He rose again that we might live a victorious life in and for Him.

Chris.

If we are True Believers, our life is not our own; we are Redeemed (bought) by the Blood of Christ, and we now belong to God. We need to live as He wants us to live. Many True Believers live in countries where there is a very individualistic lifestyle; people, even Churchgoers in some cases, live as they please. If we are True Believers, we need to live in the way that is pleasing to God.
