HIS ROYAL RESIDENCE . . .
* Note to self: Beware of becoming too cynical about Jesus’ church!
1 Peter 2:6
For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”

OUR ROYAL STATUS . . .
1 Peter 2:9a
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…

Rick McDaniel - “The most challenging lie to correct is one embedded into our identity. We build mental models of the world and how we see ourselves. We do this to make sense of life and unfolding situations. This makes it difficult to reject the lie and believe the new truth.
"When we accept Christ into our life, we believe God’s truth about us. We are now forgiven, loved, healed, whole. This is our new identity. But we can still believe the lies about us instead of the truth. The bad stuff can be too easily remembered.”
