What I look for in a True Church – Salvation by Grace

We preach the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Christ, not of works. “By grace are ye saved, through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God and not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. That simply means that a sinner is saved by the grace of God, not by any work he performed yesterday, today, and tomorrow. That is what it means. So when I look for the New Testament Church, that is a local, visible assembly of God’s people who are saved and scripturally baptized, associating together in some definite locality for the purpose of carrying out the Lord’s Commission.

What I look for in a New Testament True Church – Part 1

What I look for in a New Testament True Church? Well, first of all – Its beginning. Where did it originate and who was its founder? Does its teachings line up with God’s holy Word (KJV Bible)?

I understand there are various ideas regarding the origin of the church, but the Baptist position is that which we believe to be the Scriptural position, that it occurred on the mountain top. (Luke 6:12-16; Is. 2:2; Matt. 16:18) And it was founded by Jesus Christ Himself and that the twelve apostles were the first members.

God’s Love this Valentine’s Day

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) This is the time of the year where everyone is focusing on what they are going to do for the one they love as they prepare for Valentine’s Day. May I remind you, in the midst of your busy schedule that we need not forget what Jesus has done for us. We often go out of our way to do something special for our ‘significant other’, but we often forget that God loves us more than anyone ever has. Paul begs us Romans 12:1 to present ourselves to God. While you are doing something special for the one you love this year, may you remember to give your life to the Lord because He has given everything for you!
