Cross †raining is a basic discipleship course designed to develop a solid Biblical grounding for Christians in their early Christian walk. Ideally, this material should be led by a mentor. This twelve booklets are founded on Jesus’ summary of all the commandments in Mark 12:30-31.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. The second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

The scriptures integrate our relationship with God with the relationships with other people. We cannot grow in our relationship with God more than we are willing and able to grow in our relationship with other people. The  opposite is true too. We cannot grow in our relationship with others any quicker than we grow closer to God. 

Judge Sinners

The Lord God is Judge of the world. He brings judgment upon all who do not fully follow His laws. But who is perfect? No one. But it is exactly at this point that God’s great and mighty love reaches out to fallen, sinful man. In God’s great mercy He sent His only begotten Son to die for us on the cross. Those who believe in Christ are freely pardoned. We as His people are to freely pass on this mercy to others.
