Continuous Sanctification

“The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self – all your wishes and precautions – to Christ.” C.S.

One Word. Things Change On Your Authority.

Spiritual Formation /3

A popular children’s nursery rhyme goes “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.” We won’t get into the theological and historical truth and implications of the rhyme. That is not the story here. Our Sanctification is. First comes acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Savior (being born again), […]

Sanctification

A saint is a sinner who keeps trying. The struggle is a sign of holiness. St Josemaria Escriva [Paraphrased]

Resident Aliens

Chuck Colson defined the Christian Mission Statement as “Defending The Truth. Living The Faith. Advancing The Kingdom.” At What Now 2 Do, we use that definition interchangeably with “to influence and occupy,” or “to know God, and to make Him known.” However you define it, the Christian mission includes living our lives as a testimony […]
