(1
Timothy 6: 11-12)
Helping others learn about, and serve, Jesus.
"No Compromise" was the order of the day for the reformers. Risking their very lives to stand against doctrinal error within the church, they defended the faith and, in so doing, changed the course of history.
We serve a righteous God who requires total commitment from His people. That is what this page is all about.
All too often the church has settled into a comfortable, lukewarm Christianity that asks not much more of us than to "try" to do good and realize that we are forgiven in Jesus. While, in essence, these things are true, they are not the whole truth.
It is difficult to live in a time of instant breakfast, fast food and disposable products. Nothing really takes that much effort. It seems, also, that with all of these conveniences, we have less time to ourselves. Managing the time we do have has become a delicate balancing act between home & family, work, children (and all those related activities), and recreation. God is not included in this list because He doesn't belong there. God is not one of many items on our list of "things to do". You cannot slot out a time for Jesus, no matter how long, and think that it is sufficient. He demands nothing less than all that you have. We must each become committed to reach a place where Jesus so permeates are lives that nothing is done without Him being central to it. Jesus commands us to die to ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him. This requires effort and sacrifice on our part. Not just a little time on Sunday or at a Wednesday Bible study, but every hour of every day, moment by moment.
When I speak of the personal effort involved,
I am not talking of salvation by works. The work necessary for salvation
was finished 2000 years ago on the cross at Calvary, and to that
nothing can be added. It is not of our own effort, lest any man should
boast, that we stand before the throne of God cleansed and justified. Only
Jesus can bring us to this place. It is as to our walk in Christ that we
must understand that it is not "Jesus only". Our walk is indeed ours.
We choose to submit to the Living God each circumstance or we choose to
take control of it. Learning to reckon ourselves as dead so that we may
become alive in Christ is the requirement of each believer. This requires
courage, dedication, practice, patience, trust and faith. It is no less
than this that God wants. No less will be accepted.
There can be No Compromise.
It is to this end that we maintain this Web site.
To Call to Holiness -- Jesus requires us to lay down our lives for Him. Learning how to die to ourselves and, in so doing, live for Him is the central issue of our faith. God said that "to obey is better than sacrifice". It is our hope and prayer that we can participate in the building up of the body of Christ in some small way and see the church filled with those who have overcome the enemy instead of those who have been overcome by him.
Please bear with us as we continue to make
this page fully functional. We certainly have a humble beginning.
