                                                   “Your word is a lamp unto my feet,                                                      and a light unto my path.”

-Psalm 119:105

“The faith being ever one and the same, neither does one who is able at great length to discourse regarding it, make any addition to it, nor does one who can say but little diminish it.”  

 

-St. Irenaeus (c.120-c.200 A.D.) Against Heresies

“I was not writing to expound something I could call ‘my religion,’ but to expound ‘mere’ Christianity, which is what it is and was what it was long before I was born and whether I like it or not.”

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

(1.) The Bible is the Word of God, Inerrant in the original autographs.

 

(2.) There is only One God, Creator of all creation: three Persons in Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

(3.) God became flesh in Christ Jesus; born of a Virgin, conceived of the Holy Spirit.

 

(4.) Christ atoned for our sins through His death and shed blood on the cross.

 

(5.) Christ rose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven; conquering death and proving that He is God.

 

(6.) Salvation is only through Christ; available now to all through repentance, faith towards God, and being born again as a new creation in Christ.

 

(7.) Christ shall return, there will be a final judgment of eternal reward and eternal punishment.

 

CHRIST’S GREAT COMMISSION:

“Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good news to everyone!”  

-Mark 16:15

tHE APOsTLE PAul WRiting AbOut PRayEr And CHRist:

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,

 

and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

 

That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 

Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;

 

Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

 

Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has taken us into the kingdom of His dear Son:

 

In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

 

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

For through Him were all things created; that are in heaven, and that are on earth, visible and invisible; whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:

 

All things were created through Him, and for Him: And he is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

 

And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;; that in all things he might have the preeminence.  For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell.

 

And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things to himself;

by Him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.”
