Do the right thing~



Following the course of action that is well pleasing to God may not always be easy in a sinful and fallen world, but such obedient and even heroic options can, bu the grace of God, be found and followed even in the most extreme conditions. Such unswerving commitment to discerning and obeying the will of God-including a willingness to pay the "cost of discipleship"-- is much needed in the twentieth-century American church, where believers are all too often tempted by the comforts and compromises of the surrounding culture.

John Jefferson Davis


It is my belief that God has given us the moral framework to make the right decision in every situation. However, faith comes in when an individual finds themselves knowing what to do, but not having the strength to do it. It is my belief, at this point the individual is tested to hold and proclaim the truth even if he or she is not able to live up to God's standards. Often times people compromise and make there experience of failure the basis for truth instead holding on to the truth of God's Word. Courage is needed! The believer needs to be honest about where he or she is in relation to God's Word and to seek His Grace to empower him or her to live up to His standards and not down to our weaknesses!
