Love God & Love People

a simple response towards his loving kindness
God

  • First of all, we do not exist to fight social injustice. We do what we do in obediance to God's commandments found in the Holy Scriptures. We respond to his commandments because of the great mercy and grace (Charis) which we have received through the Sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.We attribute this overwhelming revelation entirely to God. He did everything. We do not claim to hide our agenda nor legalistically inforce it. We are believers within a world created by God. A world which is full of lovers & haters, friends & enemies, atheists & theists, the wealthy & the poor.

People

  • In the 1st century, the religious authorities asked Jesus a question, hoping to trap him in his words. They asked:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law (The Old Testament set of holy rules)?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets (the whole Old Testament) hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40
Quickly, their mouths were shut! One of the Religious leaders replied, "Well said!"

We affirm with that religious leader. Love God and love people. We believe that our priorities should look like this: God first, others second, and ourselves last!

Outsiders

  • We realize that not all have the same beliefs that we do. Like we said above, we do not force our beliefs on people, however we do not hide them either. We are very open to all kinds of people. We have many friends & family who are dear to us, but do not have the same views as us. We are so thankful that these people have still felt lead to help or perticipate in some way, fashion or form. The bottom line is, we encourage all to help.
