Are you "Bulletproof?"

Christian Cop Fellowship and Bible Study:
LOCALS and visitors: We’ll meet as usual this Saturday (12/6) for a great hour of Christian-warrior fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Jefferson County Deputy Art Briles will be teaching on the most appropriate topic of the Centurion (Roman police officer) of Christ’s time as it relates to us today. Not to be missed – and remember that spouses are encouraged to attend!

To recap, last week’s study dealt with the importance of giving thanks to God in even the toughest of times and the corresponding importance of fellowship. Reference the latter, the Greek word used in the Bible for fellowship is koinania and relates to being “bound together” in partnership. This concept certainly relates to us in law enforcement but, more importantly, it expresses the idea that Christians – including Christian officers – should have be in partnership in spreading the message of salvation to others. See Philippians 1:3-11, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 50:14-23, and Psalm 116:17 for more.
