"[...] Many view the word "testimony" as a record that is given in a court of law according to people's unique peculiarities, opinions, and subjective experiences, but for the believers in Christ, should our testimony be limited to God's operations and acts in our lives? Is He God based only on our subjective experiences? What makes Him God?"
God is Lord over all, He is Lord of All — He is not be limited to our outward experiences. Since our words and opinions may vary over time, our testimony cannot be based on what we see with our natural eyes. Rather, our testimony is the person of Christ in us and the perfection of His work for all. Christ is our ultimate. God has revealed Him as the evidence of who He is, what He has, and what He says and thinks of us and this EVIDENCE should be confirmed in us.
There is what God confirms in us and who He confirms us to be — This means that what is true of us should become true to us. What God confirms in us is the testimony of Christ and when that confirmation happens in us, we have God's confirmation about us — we become PERSUADED of His opinion of us as revealed in Christ Jesus. Our conviction about what He wrought on the cross gives us a complete readiness of speech and knowledge. In this episode entitled "Christ our unfailing assurance," Dr. Annie Smith shows us that the testimony of Christ is the in-depth knowledge of the Truth in us and when this testimony is confirmed in us (becomes true to us), we are persuaded of it, and it redefines our lives and motives. Having this testimony of Christ endows us with an abundance of spiritual gifts that pertain to His own nature. Our speech and knowledge become a reflection of this confirmed testimony of Christ in us.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
