Recognize

Those of us who see and listen carefully know that the scary things predicted in John’s revelation are happening now. Many people have become believers from endless preaching, but they’re not fully committed and feel okay with how things are in the world.

 

Be Brave!

Even if you have to suffer for doing good things, God will bless you. So stop being afraid and don't worry about what people might do.

1 Peter 3:14

THE END IS NEAR

2 Peter 3:3-4 But first you must realize that in the last days some people won’t think about anything except their own selfish desires. They will make fun of you and say, “Didn’t your Lord promise to come back? Yet the first leaders have already died, and the world hasn’t changed a bit.”

Christians be like:

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 – And with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

World be like:

Ezekial 12:2 – Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house

GOD

We recognize some basic facts about The Big Guy

God is real • Jesus is the Christ • Jesus preached poverty on earth • If you are anti-poor you are anti-Christ

Quality over Quantity

Okay, so we have grown the tree of Christs’ Church to unimagined heights’. Billions of people call themselves Christian… and mostly they fucking suck at it.

We recognize the need for rough men, moral, and willing to die for righteousness sake.

Extra-Biblical

 

The ‘Trinity’ as such

Inviting Jesus into your heart

Once save always saved

If you like it here, you are doing this whole ‘Jesus Thing’ wrong

James 4:4 You unfaithful people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy.

1 John 2:15 Don’t love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them.

Romans 2:12 Don’t be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him.

Ephesians 6:12 We aren’t fighting against human enemies but against rulers, authorities, forces of cosmic darkness, and spiritual powers of evil in the heavens.

jasonybird be like:

2 Timothy 2:15 – Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

We believe that Satan is a real being created by God. He was originally an angel but turned against God. Now he leads other angels who rebelled. His main goal is to trick people into doubting God and disobeying Him. Satan is known for being tricky and clever. He pretends to be good but really wants to spread lies. He’s behind false teachings and the idea that we can earn our way to heaven by doing good things.

  • Genesis 3:1: “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.”
  • 2 Corinthians 11:3, 14: “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ… And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”

Church be like:

Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

We recognize that greed is ruining the world. (Why didn’t God warn us?!?)

James 5:1-3 You rich people should cry and weep! Terrible things are going to happen to you. Your treasures have already rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your money has rusted, and the rust will be evidence against you, as it burns your body like fire. Yet you keep on storing up wealth in these last days.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life. Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone. Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have. This will lay a solid foundation for the future, so they will know what true life is like.

Church be like:

Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

We believe the Holy Bible is God’s Word, written by people who were guided by Him. Everything in the Bible is what God wanted us to know, and it helps us learn, grow, and do good things.

  • 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God’s servants to do all kinds of good deeds.”
  • 2 Peter 1:20-21 “Most important, you must realize that no one alone can explain any of the prophecies in the Scriptures. For no prophecy ever originated from humans. Instead, it was given by the Holy Spirit as humans spoke under God’s direction.”

Doctrine be Like:

Matthew 15:9 – In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
