Here is what I believe to be true in my Christian Faith. I believe in the Trinity of God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are each equally and eternally the one true God. Each is necessary, and each is distinct, and yet all are one. I believe that Jesus was brutally crucified on the cross. He was perfect and pure, bore all of the guilt, shame, and sin of the world so that we wouldn't have to. And that He is the ONLY way to get into Heaven, for he alone is "The Way, The Truth, And The Life". I believe that HELL is a real place and that it is inside this earth. And that it has millions of lost, tormented souls that are burning, weeping, and wailing without any hope whatsoever. I believe in the Gap-Theory (The prehistoric world), That Earth was recreated by God more than once. And I also believe that the Monsters, Unicorns, Dragons, Satyr, Giants, that are in the Bible were all real creatures that roamed this Earth at one time or another.

Merry Christmas - Jesus Christ is the Reason for the Season! "Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." "Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." "James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
The angel told Joseph that Jesus would save us from our sins. Jesus said that he came to save the lost.James declared that a person who converts a sinner from being lost, hides a multitude of his sin. This time of year, we should not let ourselves get too busy to hold forth the Gospel of Christ to all.
FREEDOM & LIBERTY! "Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." "Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." "James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
Philosophy, tradition, or being worldly & politically correct will not gain anyone the freedom and liberty that our Lord Jesus Christ made available to us. But when we we love our neighbor as our self, then we gain great freedom, as we in our own way serve each other as God has enabled us.
Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
God is not out of business and He still speaks if you only listen.
"Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. "

"Psalms 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield." "Psalms 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress."
God is on your side, that makes you the majority!!!!!
It is our example of real Godly love that is our strongest witness. God is love. God's love is what draws people out of darkness to the light.
"Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" "Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." "2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." "1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." "1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."
Start the year released from what holds you back. Just as it was for Paul and Silas, it is still the same for us this day, it is when we praise God and pray that we are freed and others who are around us are freed as well. * "Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." *
Go into the new year a conqueror! * "Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." *
God Bless you .
Your servant and brother in Christ, Pastor Rick ..
Merry Christmas - Jesus Christ is the Reason for the Season!
"Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." "1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" "1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ," "Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
We have much to rejoice about during the Christmas time. The angel told Joseph that Jesus would save us from our sins. Paul taught Timothy that Jesus is the only mediator between God and us. Paul declared that God has appointed us to receive salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. And especially this time of year we should not let the world hinder us from proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to all. We can not let the influence of the world make us ashamed of speaking the Gospel of Christ. Jesus & salvation is the reason for true rejoicing this Christmas season.
