A Warm Welcome to You, the Reader!
This blog is about the importance of seeking the truth of God's Word, for those in search of truth, and those leaving Legalism in search of truth:
When we consider what others say/teach about God's Word, it's vital to make sure it's TRUTH. We should NEVER take anyones's word for it, but ALWAYS prove it for our self. It's OUR responsibility. We cannot ride someone else's coattail into the Kingdom. Don't we prefer the truth, whatever it may be? Even if it's not what we had thought? Of course!
Because we desire to PLEASE God! So... we do 'As Bereans Did.'
Because we desire to PLEASE God! So... we do 'As Bereans Did.'
Acts 17:11 (NIV)
'Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.'
Our goal is to help others understand & receive the Grace & Freedom that is in the New Covenant through Christ Jesus our Lord & Savior.
ETIQUETTE
It’s wonderful and refreshing to hear different views on Biblical matters from fellow believers in Christ. If a debate should result, one in a spirit of seeking truth and not of competition & self-aggrandizement is desirable for stimulating thought & to provide a resource for individuals in coming to their own conclusions. (However, we will not debate the existence or non-existence of God, or of Jesus as the Christ).
A healthy debate is not an argument. If each view point were identical, there would be little to be gained toward stimulating thought and growth. We will certainly write as if we are certain that our beliefs are true, since to say otherwise would be an inaccurate representation of ourselves. Just keep in mind that everything is based on the current understanding of each author and that you, the reader, must research with more than just the scriptures we provide, and with God's guidance, prove for yourself.

The reader should be confident of being afforded a forum for civil faith-based discussion and a place to present their opinions and evidence so that everyone involved might increase in understanding.
May God bless you in your quest for His truth!
