FOUNDATIONS FOR OUR LIVES

A resource for group or individual study

 

Foundations is presented as individual topics. Although some topics refer to another topic, they are independent of each other. A read through the summary of all the foundations can be completed in about 1/2 hour.  That said, it is much more profitable to read and contemplate the topics, one at a time, over several sessions. Most topics include very helpful digging deeper and audio sections.

As you consider the truths below, they may or may not be new to you. If new, you have the opportunity to have a new perspective of this part of your relationship with God, based on truth rather than the lies of the Devil. Whether each foundation is a new thought or an old one, the real question is how good of a job are you doing at embracing it. In other words, are your actions and reactions consistent with someone who acts as if these are true? 

In order for this tool to be instrumental in effective and hopefully lasting change in your life, it is crucial you do not just read this, but for anything you do not have complete victory over, that you meditate on the truth, ask yourself the application questions, and complete the Study Guides.  

 

 

This is where each foundation is looked at in depth while presented in a simple, understandable way. Readers who thought they had victory in a particular foundation have been convicted of a need to grow when readying through the Digging Deeper section.
