Love towards others!
If
you hide your eyes from
the misery and wants of
others, you hide your eyes from
Jesus! You must be
consistently righteous and continue your salvation with your
faith and works in love! The Gospel is not just a cheap and
corrupt gospel! We must also take care of people in need!
Love is not an option, it's a command! |

Responsibilities to our family
We believe that our responsibilities for our family are chronologically as: 1. God 2. Family 3. Ministry or work In our obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ, we are required to act in a responsible manner as good and trustworthy citizens, in the society of our nation. |

Godly life style...?
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (John 13:34)
This is the same as the old commandment in
Leviticus 19:18, "Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself." The renewed commandment here has an additional part, "as I have
loved you." Christ more than
fulfilled the Mosaic precept. He not only loved His neighbor as Himself,
but He loved him more than Himself, for
He
laid down His own life for others. In this
He
called upon His disciples to follow
Him: to be ready on all occasions to lay down their lives for
each other and for enemies,
if it would save them from
hell!
This surpassed by far the moral
systems of all religions! |

Just twenty reasons we should love others: 1. To prove that we are of God (1 John 4:7). 2. It proves Son-ship (1 John 4:7; 1 John 5:1-2). 3. It is proof of knowing God (1 John 4:7-8). 4. Because God is love and we should follow His examples as children of God (1 John 4:8,16). 5. God has imparted love to us (1 John 4:9; Romans 5:5). 6. God sent His Son to make it possible (1 John 4:9; 1 Peter 2:21). 7. That we might live (1 John 4:9, 10, 14). 8. Because God first loved us (1 John 4:10, 19). 9. We have been loved and forgiven so much (1 John 4:10; John 3:16). 10. It is our duty (1 John 4:11). 11. God loved us when we were unlovable (1 John 4:11; Romans 5:6-10). 12. God dwells in us (1 John 4:12). 13. God's love is perfected in us (1 John 4:12). 14. Because of the indwelling Spirit (1 John 4:13). 15. We believe in love (1 John 4:16). 16. We dwell in God (1 John 4:16). 17. We are like Him (1 John 4:17). 18. It proves we love God (1 John 4:20). 19. It is a command (1 John 4:21; 1 John 5:2). 20. It is natural as sons of God (1 John 5:1-2). In keeping honest motives, without any self-interest with characteristics you will live according to the laws and commandments written in your heart by the Holy Spirit, Himself: Irreproachable, husband of one wife (man-woman), sober, of good behavior, hospitality, capable of giving teaching, no striker, patient, ruler of his own house, receiving a good report, guard of true doctrines, having a good conscience, live Godly with a Godly life-style and honest, keep themselves pure, abstain from fleshly lust and follow the fruits of the Spirit, to live blameless before God and for all man, keeping your word & promises, not arrogant, not short-tempered, no addict, not greedy also concerning money (Wise & responsible steward), not covetousness, etc....... |

Hypocritical religious foolish life-style!? Multitudes of your sacrifices offered in hypocrisy and vain oblations to secure favor with whom? Spreading forth the hands toward Him in prayer as if they were clean in His sight, when they are purposeless in themselves; all half-hearted, dead, formal, meaningless and hypocritical! On Sunday-morning meetings, spreading of your hands to God, and your many prayers, for your hands are still dirty and your hypocritical faces and still living your lives corruptly! Even when you spread your hands toward God, He will hide His eyes from you (Isaiah 1:15). All this emphasizes the fact that religious rituals and the making of many prayers are worthless and these are abominations, unless accompanied by an upright life-style! The words of the foolish man are a source of pride causing his fall! If you have acted stupidly in your thinking or planning, it is evil in the eyes of God! It is better to confess it to God Who forgives! The ways of men are before God and He records every word and deed. Every idle word and every cup of cold water given or refused will be brought up before man in the Day of Judgment! For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. (Proverbs 5:21) Let us settle the differences between us! Such reasoning where both parties state their own case will put an end to all other reasoning. The sinner, hypocrite, the striker, the proud, the name-Christian... will maybe see his/her need and give himself to God? Then God will be just in cleansing him from all sin! |

If you keep My commandments, And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves... (Matthew 21:12) He is well-pleased to receive you, when you seek the face of the Father before His throne. But it makes Him sad that there are people in His temple, who are coming before the throne of God and they are not prepared. They haven't cleansed themselves by the precious Blood of Yeshua Messiah. They haven't surrendered with a true heart to confess their unrighteousness. They come before the throne of the Father, but their clothes aren't clean! They come with their minds made up, taking with them their arrogantly, pride and presumptuous lifestyle! What can the Father in heaven do with them if they don't prepare themselves and truly surrender their hearts to Him and realize that time after time sin cannot be tolerated?! They should be prepared to accept and to respect the sacrifice of Yeshua Messiah on the cross! They should realize the weight of their sin and confess it. He is inviting you to come in His Temple courtyard and go to His altar, His cross, to touch it, so that you become clean and holy! He knows all your transgressions and your sin, and they are a hindrance to come before the Father in the Holy of Holies! There is no secret hide for God’s eyes! There can only be restoration and blessings when people repent of their sin with a surrendered heart, time after time. It doesn't matter which function you have in His Kingdom. Everyone must repent and there are no exceptions! For a long time the Father in heaven has seen the sin committed by His servants, but He has turned away from those who come to Him before His Holy Throne with a wrong heart-attitude. He desires a holy nation, a holy people who will serve as an example in an unbelieving world. |
