A Warning and A Command
We live in an age and culture that makes us want to question everything and not believe that truth is immovable. It's no wonder the Apostle Paul warned us, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable." (1 Corinthians 15:58)

"Beloved, Be ye STEADFAST in the doctrines of the gospel. Know what you know, and knowing, cling to it."

British 19th century "Prince of Preachers" -
An Encouragement
This word STEADFAST is crucial in Scriptures and occurs dozens of times, warning us and encouraging believers to be strong in our faith. We know as Christians we are called to be different from our culture, and it is by standing upon God's Word that we are strengthened.
