Our focus. To Serve. To Build Up the Body of Christ. And to Love.
Honour all men . Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. - 1 Peter 2:17
For the remaining principles no commentary should be necessary.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. - Exodus 20:3
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. - Matthew 22:37
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. - John 15:12
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. - II Timothy 4:2
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; - Ephesians 6:13-18
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. - Colossians 3:16
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. - John 12:26
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. - Luke 9:23-24
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.- Matthew 5:6
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. - Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. - Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. - Matthew 5:9
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:10
And once again:
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. - John 15:12
And love truly is a "key". If we could but only increase our capacity to love, there would be no door nor barrier that could not be broken. Our focus is to love. And uphold the word of God.
Those who know me personally know that quotations are one of my favorite things. I now would like to add three of my favorites, and let us all reflect upon their truth.
"We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind."
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -
"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being (man or woman) in the world..."
- Emmet Fox -
And our favorites of all:
"Who will, can; Who tries, does; and Who loves, lives"
- Anne McCaffrey -
"Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God."
William Carey
May we always remember to love, and to serve.
Located in NE Arkansas in the city of Jonesboro, U.S.A., through God's guidance, we endeavor daily to bear our "Cross". Taking the love of Christ to the World, and standing as a defender to the true faith, and God's Holy Word.
Motivated by our love for Jesus Christ, and our love for you; it is "our true passion", and our very purpose.
And our purpose and service… "Offer Them Christ". Jesus Christ. In service to Him.
"Build It And He Will Come".
And our mission… guided by God..."The Building of a Holy Nation".
"New Bud, & New Life"
