Justification By Faith
Written by Shawn Daniels

We hear much in religion on the subject of faith and being justified by it. Paul tells us, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:1) The common approach to this verse by many religious leaders is to attach the words “only” at the end of this phrase. Is this what the apostle Paul meant? Can the words ‘by faith’ include the obedience to that faith, or are we justified the moment we believe? Let us take a look at this much debated question.

God's Standard for Unity: Part 8
Written by Shawn Daniels   
Monday, 08 March 2010 10:03

It has taken eight articles, but we are finally approaching the end of this short but important study. I say short, because books could be written, and many exist, on the subject of unity of Christian. My intentions for writing these articles is not to be exhaustive in any subject, but to set forward some Biblical ideas, and hopefully incite a spark in my readers to continue in their study of God's word. All Christian should be “Bible Students.” I say important, because the unity between Christians was so important that Jesus made the subject the theme of an intense prayer. (John 17) Jesus cared much about our unity, which should make it also important to us as professed followers of Jesus.

You Shall Be Holy, For I Am Holy

This first installment of the Sermons from the Letters of Peter series, looks at  what it means to be holy and reminds the Christian that the main purpose of our calling is for us to be holy.  This sermon also set forward the motivation for us to be holy.  It's not for wages that we strive for holiness, but because we are children of a Holy God.

Daily Light on the Daily Path

MARCH 10 MORNING

The Lord will provide. -- GEN. 22:14.

God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. -- There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. -- Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; to deliver their soul from death.

My God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. -- He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. -- The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusteth in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth: and with my song will I praise him.

MARCH 10 EVENING

He feedeth among the lilies. -- SONG 2:16.

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. -- If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. -- I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey. -- The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek-ness, temperance.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. -- Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. -- Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Some Information About Us

Who are we?

Simply put, we are a group of Christians, which were born by the power that God has given us through the gosepl (John 1:12; Romans 1:16, 17), that assemble together for the purpose of worship and service to God. We are non-denominational and wear only the name of Christ. We strive to do all things, word or deed, by the authority of Jesus Christ (Colossians 3:17).

What To Expect When You Visit

You will find our worship to be simplistic and edifying. You'll find our worship divided into five basic actions: Singing, Praying, Partaking of the Lord's Supper, Hearing God's Word, and the giving back to God (of course, we do not expect any contributions from our guests).
