For all the doomsdayers who speak about the decline of marriage the statistics present an alternate reality. Jeff Patton talks about our yearning for the “good marriage” as it collides with the conditions that hinder us in achieving our “happily-ever-after.” Marriage is not easy, but it is worthwhile and this is why!
What Believers Should Know In the beginning the first man and woman were given some very important instructions, ones that were re-emphasized millennia later by other biblical writers. Jeff Patton delves into the scriptural teachings that form the basis of the Christian marriage relationship.
The idea of the “Vicar of Christ” is foreign to the biblical record. Jeff Patton looks into the scripture to understand the foundation stone of Christianity. Was Peter the rock that the Church was built on and were his successors given the power to bind and loose? This is the mainstay of traditional Christianity, but is it the truth?
Early Church Authority The apostle John, warned Christians of church leaders who were rejecting John’s authority and the traditional teachings of the apostles, and even expelling faithful brethren from their congregations. This important information about church authority is for all Christians who are looking to understand and practice the “Christianity” of Christ and the apostles.
Power to Bind and Loose? Millions of people believe that the Church had the power to bind and to loose. But is this true? What does the bible say about what is bound and what is loosened by God. Who has the authority to bind and loose? Christ gives an unequivocal answer that may surprise you.

Finding the Trunk of the Tree of Christianity
Can we worship God as we please? Or is there a ‘core Christianity’ that believers must embrace and profess? The multi-culturalism of our day is not unlike that of the society of Paul’s day. He wrote to warn Christians of the dangers of embracing useless philosophies. These ideas were not grounded in the truth, but in human reasoning and wisdom. “Don’t be deceived,” Paul cautioned, for the solid foundation of all wisdom and knowledge could only be found in Christ. Only Christ embodied the fullness of God, and faithfully represented the Father. He alone was given authority over every power in heaven and earth. So are we listening to him alone? More

Are there many paths to salvation, to eternal life? The scripture talks about the narrow gate and the narrow path that lead to salvation, God’s Kingdom. Jesus counsels us to enter by the narrow gate, so we avoid destruction — the loss of what should have been or could have been! Jeff Patton examines the scriptures and illuminates how we must walk the narrow path in a spirit of repentance
Comments Off on Salvation Explained 2 – Trailhead of Repentance, Uncategorized, by CGP.
Jesus saves, but how does He save? What is the process that leads to salvation – Eternal life?

Repentance is the first step at the trailhead that prepares us for the journey of a lifetime. So what is repentance?
Comments Off on Salvation Explained 1 — Vision of Eternal Life, Uncategorized, by CGP.
The ancient Egyptians had amazing rituals associated with their concept of life after death and the hurdles they believed they had to magically overcome in order to attain eternal life. Jeff Patton contrasts the mythology of the Egyptians with the reality of scriptures and encourages believers to hold fast to the hope of eternal life that is presently a reality in their lives. Salvation begins with this hope and a vision for the future.
There are no guarantees when you get married. But God created marriage with great meaning and great potential. Jeff Patton encourages newly weds and those contemplating marriage to understand God’s plan for marriage. He gives a scriptural overview of the marriage covenant, and the purpose of marriage from God’s perspective. What does God expect from the partners in the marriage covenant? The bible gives the answers.
What kind of knowledge does God want you to have about Christian marriage, and how will this help you in the “tribulation” that God said would come with the marriage package. Jeff shows that “happily ever after” is possible but not a guarantee, for it is the outcome of applying the right kind of knowledge.
