They say that holiness is like a virus: It spreads by contact. When we determine to live devoted to God and His standards, those around us are encouraged to do the same. In this message from Nehemiah, we see how the man of God lived his testimony, and how the people of the land were impacted to desire holiness as well. As always, it is all about Jesus Christ, either in the Old Testament or the new.

Standing firm for Christ . . . in good times (2)
December 3, 2017 • Pastor Paul Torres
Pastor Paul continues a new series looking at the book of First John. Last week he looked at some of the background information of the book. To whom it was addressed, what the world of their day looked like, what challenges they faced. Today Pastor Paul continues with that discussion, showing us the similarities between the believers then and now. Just as with the believers that the Apostle was writing to, Christians today are being pressured to give up their convictions as Christians to live like the world around them.
Standing firm for Christ . . . in good times

In this impactful book of the New Testament, we see the Apostle writing a letter to people who were under attack, not from persecution, but from affluence. They were being pressured to give up their convictions as Christians to live like the world around them. We had not planned it this way, but as things begin to normalize in Puerto Rico after Hurricane María, what better time to remind ourselves to serve Christ first in good times as well as bad?
