Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.

These then are the marks of the ideal Church - love, suffering, holiness, sound doctrine, genuineness, evangelism and humility. They are what Christ desires to find in His churches as He walks among them.

Our claim is that God has revealed Himself by speaking; that this divine (or God-breathed) speech has been written down and preserved in Scripture; and that Scripture is, in fact, God's Word written, which therefore is true and reliable and has divine authority over men.

Do we claim to believe in God? He's a missionary God. You tell me you're committed to Christ. He's a missionary Christ. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? He's a missionary Spirit. Do you belong to the church? It's a missionary society. And do you hope to go to heaven when you die? It's a heaven into which the fruits of world mission have been and will be gathered.

Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection.

When the Christian loses himself, he finds himself, he discovers his true identity.

No man preaches his sermon well to others if he does not first preach it to his own heart.
