This Week's Bible Study: Colossians 1:15-23

Direction 1: Embracing Truth with a Sanctified Heart

From Part 3 of Baxter’s Christian Directory. Chapter 7: Directions for the Discovery of the Truth among Contenders, and the Escape of Heresy and Deceit. Direction 1

The "meat and potatoes" of these posts I'm referring to as, "Baxter's Directory," come from Baxter himself. I'm merely compiling, editing, and doing my best to decipher, or translate, his 17th century language so more folks today can benefit from his wise and godly counsel. I'm also handpicking some of my favorites, from his millions of words, so there's definitely bias related to what I have and have not chosen to include. I hope you find this helpful in your walk with Christ.

My devotional on the epistle of James was just released by Reformation Heritage Books. Below is the last of the 47 devotions that take us through the letter. James closes on a note both somber and hopeful, reminding us that truth matters.  

Peter Makes a Point
 
Five times in the first chapter of 2 Peter, we find a form of the word knowledge. Five times! That alone should at least grab our attention.
