Being Transformed and Encouraged by the Gospel of Jesus Christ
A Big Problem In The Church:
Unfortunately, we as Christians have a very anemic view of the Almighty God, and bible literacy in the body of Christ is dismal to say the least, which means that the very foundations of our faith are at great risk. They are at risk because we as Christians knowingly neglect to "study to show ourselves approved unto God", and without proper study we are not "prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks us the reason for the hope that we have".
Our Christian faith is not a blind faith, nor an ignorant one, which is why we need to be in God's Word.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." -Prov 1:7
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither." -Psalm 1:1-3
"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." -Acts 17:11

"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges thoughts and attitudes of the heart." -Heb 4:12
The bible says this about the early believers:
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching (God's Word) and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." -Acts 2:42
Now, I think that is a great model for the church today. I do hope you find encouragment through God's word everyday and that this website will motivate you to seek and pray to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, more.

Beliefs:
This is actually Hope for Today's Doctrinal Statement, however, I decided to use this because I personally believe these statements to be true, the statements are thorough, and I would not be able to word it better.
-
I believe that the Bible is inspired by God in its entirety, and is without error in the original autographs, a complete and final written revelation from God.
-
I believe that there is only one God, who is eternal and immutable, and manifests Himself in three distinct Persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
I believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah, born of a virgin, totally without sin, God in human flesh, the One Who died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again from the dead on the third day, and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven, where He now intercedes for us who believe in Him.
-
I believe that Jesus Christ is going to return in the clouds for His church before the tribulation that is coming on the whole earth, and that He will return with His saints and all His holy angels to the earth at the end of the tribulation, and set up His kingdom on earth, ruling and reigning forever and ever.
-
I believe that all humanity is lost and born with a sinful nature, and can only be saved by a personal faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and not by any human merit or performance.
-
I believe in a personal devil, called Satan, who, along with all his angels, called demons or evil spirits, are destined to spend eternity in hell, and now seek to deceive the world, defeat the believers, and destroy the work of God, but can be resisted by believers, who are protected by God and the intercession of Jesus Christ our Lord.
-
I believe that heaven is a real place where the saved will dwell forever, and that hell is a literal place of torment where unbelievers will suffer forever.
-
I believe that genuine believers are born again by the Holy Spirit of God, and are indwelt, baptized into the body of Christ, the true church, and sealed by the Holy Spirit, and thus, unable to be separated from the love of Jesus Christ.
-
I believe that all believers need to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a godly life and to be bold in our witness for the Lord.
-
I believe in the spiritual unity of all genuine believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
I believe that the nation of Israel has a special place in God's plan, and that all of the promises of God to Israel will be fulfilled.
