our mission

Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. II Corinthians 13:11 KJV

God wants us to live in peace and unity. We are to get along with our fellow man. not to be contentious, or argumentative. We should be respected and known for our honesty. This doesn't mean that we should be quite and let people shut us up when it comes to talking about our God and faith.
God calls us to witness for Him!

A lot of times we think our talking the talk is what is needed when what is needed is our walking the walk! Christians get in trouble and become ineffective when we think just our talking about God will lead people instantly to Jesus. Our actions speak louder than our words. Our example every day 24 - 7 is what Jesus wants. That will bring people to us so we can talk to them and tell them of Jesus!

Don't be afraid! Speak out! Don't quit! For I am with you and no one can harm you. Acts 19:9,10 LB

After people see the light of Jesus in our lives and are attracted to what God has done for us, then we can stand up and respectively talk boldly about Our AWESOME GOD. We are to plant the seed, that is all. God will bring in the harvest!

At least that is what I think

  1. You're right, it is important to live together peacefully, and not be contentious or argumentative...
