We recently had the privilege of graduating two of our residents from our program! For those of you who were able to attend the ceremony, you know what a blessing it was to hear these ladies proclaim the awesome message of the gospel and the power of the Word of God to transform their lives.<\/p>\n
We are so proud of all of our graduates over the years, and we know that their journey is not over. For the rest of their lives, they must choose to believe truth and run after Christ with all their hearts. Like all of us, there is a war going on between our sinful nature and who we now are in Christ. But we want all of our graduates to know this: Christ is more that powerful enough to help us all to live victorious lives for Him, and through Him we are more than conquerors!<\/p>\n
In Philippians, Paul speaks about the goal of being conformed to Christ and knowing Him more. He states, \u201cNot that I have already\u00a0obtained\u00a0it\u00a0or have already become perfect, but I press on\u00a0so that I may\u00a0lay hold of that\u00a0for which also I\u00a0was laid hold of by\u00a0Christ Jesus.<\/strong> Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of\u00a0it\u00a0yet; but one thing\u00a0I do:\u00a0forgetting what\u00a0lies\u00a0behind and reaching forward to what\u00a0lies\u00a0ahead, I\u00a0press on toward the goal for the prize of the\u00a0upward call of God in\u00a0Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/strong> (Philippians 3:12-14) This is our prayer for our graduates for the rest of their lives, that they will continue to press on with a single-minded goal: to please the Lord and know their Savior more and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
