MISSION


Godly Living - Biblical Lifestyle
 
God Formed Us, Sin Deforms Us, Jesus Transforms Us
 
 
Our life should reveal (produce proof-evidence of) an intimate relationship with God through Jesus. This can only come about by remaining (continuing-abiding) in Jesus (loving, trusting, hoping, praying, surrendering, submitting, repenting, obeying, unified, cherished, praising, thankful, grateful, peaceful, powerful, kind, merciful, forgiving, good, gentle...).
 
Are you truly a child-friend-lover of God (through Jesus), or are you a result of yourself, someone else, something else?
 
Do you willingly & faithfully embrace God's love, truth, grace, mercy, forgiveness, promises, desires, ways, life (through Jesus)?
 
Do you really know Who Jesus Is, and What Jesus Did for you?

Jesus said to him, "I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life;
no one comes to the Father but through Me."
John 14:6
 
For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaiming the Father's own message]; for God gives the [gift of the] Spirit without measure [generously and boundlessly]! The Father loves the Son and has given and entrusted all things into His hand.
He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over him continually.
 
For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].
For the Law was given through Moses, but grace [the unearned, undeserved favor of God] and truth came through Jesus Christ.
 
But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name-
For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
John 1:12; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 5:1
 
 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].
The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.
 
but these have been written so that you may believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of God; and that by believing [and trusting in and relying on Him] you may have life in His name.

Vision


Together we uphold the Holy Bible (God's Supernatural Words) as our Owners Manual (the Ultimate Authoritative Guide) for our way of life (Godly Living - Biblical Lifestyle).
 
Together we strive (being strengthened/empowered by Holy Spirit) to love God (trust/obey/honor) with our entire being. God's Ways, His Holiness in us (our thoughts, intentions, motives, imaginations, emotions, feelings, beliefs, desires, words, actions).
 
Together we strive to love our brothers and sisters in Jesus as He loved us (imitating Jesus). Oneness, unity, purity, correction, discipline, encouragement (all of these working in harmony together).
 
Together we strive to love, serve, rightly impact people (unselfishly seek the best/higher good for others), and share Jesus with them (so they may come to know/trust/obey/love God).
 
Together we encourage whole person (holistic) wellbeing by simultaneously addressing various components of wellness: spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, relationships, lifestyle, hobbies/interests, livelihood/vocation, surroundings, food/drink/diet, natural remedies, and physical activity/fitness.
 
Together we enhance the wellbeing of animals, plants, nature, and food by regenerating the environment/ecology, growing thriving food forests, creating healthy soil, and providing excellent plant & animal care. God amazingly designed vital interconnected-interdependent (mutually beneficial) relationships among Himself, people, and nature - for the good/prosperity of all.
 
Together we create a proper music, media, and fashion culture that profoundly engages and transforms the world to God's Standards/Desires.
 
Together we deny self (fully surrender to God, wholeheartedly commit to His Perfect Will), and we embrace sacrificial love, humility, rejection, loss, suffering, persecution, and even death (as a result of following Jesus).
 
Together we endure, we persevere, we overcome, we live in victory (rule over self/sin/world/satan) - by faith (trust/obedience/love), grace, mercy, truth, promises, wisdom, strength, power, blessings, and more that have already been abundantly and freely given to us from our Master, Creator, Intelligent Designer, Father, Brother, Best Friend, Most Beloved (God).
 
Together lets walk with God - loving what He loves (good/true) and hating what He hates (evil/false). Together lets consistently choose our Father's Will (pleasing/delighting Him).
