Michiana Covenant Presbyterian Church

[Sung Psalm: 51] In Romans 12 Paul launches a new section of Romans. He will now talk about the "practical" side of the Christian life. He has spent the last 11 chapters talking about the importance of Christian doctrine – the importance of the good news of what Jesus has done. We should remember that "doctrine" simply means "teaching." Doctrine is the foundation for practice. "Teaching" is the starting point for "doing." Doctrine results in practice. It always does. Whatever you really believe is what you will act upon! So if you want to know what you really believe – take a look at your life! How you live tells the world what you believe! How do you live? Does your whole life revolve around your family? Do you focus your energy simply on enjoying life now – whatever the cost? What do your priorities say about what you really believe?
