Living Above Reproach

I thank God for the blessings of the “Life Above Reproach” group and its facilitators Mondo, Steve, and Juan. These Brothers dedicated their time and talents to give everyone involved a thorough spiritual education in the New Testament.  I have become a stronger Christian because of it, and I now truly believe “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).  I have learned a new love for scripture reading, and look forward to it every day.  Now, no matter what I am studying, I always search scripture for the Biblical truth of it.  If I cannot find it, I reject it.

This group has also given me the desire to “let my light shine before men, that they may see my good deeds and praise my Father in Heaven” (Matthew 5:16).  My Christian principles are guiding and driving me every day.  I am constantly searching for a better understanding of my true relationship with God, my Savior, and the Holy Spirit. I have acquired a ‘NEW BELIEVERS BIBLE’, and have started (again) learning the basics because I want to do it right, not wanting to miss anything.  I do not want to be a simple believer; I want to be a strong believer, a warrior for Christ.  This group has given me the tools to be just that.

Praise the Lord!
