What We Believe

We rejoice in the fact that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Peter 3:18).
 
We believe this salvation is a gift of God’s grace, appropriated through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This faith is a gift of divine grace, and is not simply knowledge of Jesus Christ, but is an act of personal trust accompanied by the miracles of regeneration and justification, leading to sanctification and glorification.

Weekly Pastor's Pen:

Christmas
Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38
It has been said, “We’re in danger of losing Christmas.” I can understand this statement, can you? Subtle, but sure, erosion is eating away at the Christmas story. The world has reduced it to little more than an elaborate fable. Storytellers and singers have so added to the Christmas story that most people don’t know which details are biblical and which are fabricated.

Tradition has turned the unnumbered visitors from the East into three kings, and some have even given them names. Songs placed animals in the stable and personify them like characters out of Aesop. The manger scene is often pictured with snow, singing angels, a crowd of worshipers, and a little drummer boy. However, none of this is found in the biblical account. The magi – wise men – did not visit Jesus the night of His birth. Matthew tells us that they found Jesus in a house (Matthew 2:11). This could have been weeks, even months, after Jesus was born. The facts of the story have been lost in mythology.

Some years back, I came across an article that was talking about the growing tendency to secularize Christmas. The article is as follows:

“I’m not referring entirely to the ubiquitous Santa’s, reindeer, and talking snowmen that dominate our Christmas decorations, although that is part of it. What concerns me most is that the spiritual values of Christmas are giving way to crass consumerism. Christmas has become the ultimate holiday for committed hedonists. Drunken parties, self-indulgence, mad-cap spending, and obscene gluttony all characterize the way much of the world celebrates Christmas.
​
The trends are not hard to document. Visit your local shopping mall during the week before Christmas, and you’ll witness graphic evidence of how Christmas is rapidly slipping away from us. Notice how stores advertise their merchandise – and notice what they advertise. Listen to shoppers talk. Stop by a card store and look at the greeting cards…What message would you get from what you see?”

I love the Christmas season and all its trapping, but may God help us not to forget the real meaning of Christmas. Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.                                                                                                          John 10:7-11
