What's Positive?

As you read the Bible for yourself it is essential that you 'test everything'. It is important that you accept God's word not as the word of men but as it actually is, the word of God. The word has power to change our attitude, to give us hope...the positive message is there for all of us.

We Believe!

We are a community of believers in Christ, organized in groups found throughout the world. Wherever we exist we have a fellowship founded upon an agreed basis of beliefs. Fundamental to our faith is the principle that what Christ and his apostles taught in the first century was the truth, and it is still the truth today. The Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are our sole authority.

death is the greatest tragedy of human experience

Tragic events are a powerful reminder that suffering and death are neither to be celebrated or regarded as the way to God. No amount of well meant sentiment can obscure the real truth that death is a tragedy - when our loved ones die we grieve their loss. Any religion or creed that either regards life cheaply or simply as the stopping off point to somewhere else denies the value of the world that God created. Existence, life and being are gifts from God.

but the meek will inherit the earth. forever.

God wants to have a continuing relationship with you and me! This is why Jesus said: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly". The wonderful promise of the good news is that through Jesus Christ, we no longer have to be alienated from God, but can come close to him. This is what real living is. No matter who you are, or what situation you're in, God is calling you....

life is the moment in which to know God

God is interested in the quality of your life! Are you worried, stressed, despairing, feeling guilty, anger or hatred? These are the symptoms of dying life. Jesus‘ promise of eternal life isn't just about the future, isn't just about living forever. It means that we can live with a new quality of life, now, by having relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This relationship means that we can receive and give genuine love, joy, peace, patience and kindness.

through Jesus. the way. the truth. the life

Eternal life is to have relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ. He is the way that that relationship becomes possible because he is the truth. In order to appreciate this truth we have to read to Bible for ourselves and discover the real living Jesus. Meet Jesus yourself - who he was, is, and will be - by reading the bible. That encounter could transform your life!

Posted 11/03/2010 - 12:35 by Matt

Many make the statement: “The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.” But is that a fair statement? There are many interpretations of the Bible - so who’s right?
