A Challenge to the Christian Church

Where are Christ's apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers?

And where are the testimonies they have that prove the Lord Jesus' words in John 14:23 to be true?

The Gospel

Simply put the GOSPEL is (a) Jesus Christ's (God's) true message to the world; the good news that Christ was crucified for our sins, was buried, rose again, and was seen among men; (b) a specifically true statement.

We have included most of the important doctrines from the Holy Bible.

Who is the Lord Jesus Christ?

Only the most important person alive today, that's who!
We hope and pray that your local community will hear an outpouring of testimony about a living Saviour. A Saviour mighty enough to save everyone who comes to him. Only by working with Him can we reap a rich harvest of true disciples of the living Lord God.

God's call to the Church of his ardent disciples has always been incredibly loud and clear!

Mt 28: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (NIV bible)

The essential part of this glorious command is; "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

That must include today!

It is amazing how few Christians we meet that actually believe it and live it!

How to be successful!

The secret of all successful Christian work and life is having a team of people who live daily in a close union with Christ Jesus and each other, Jn 13:34-35.

God lays down the qualification for being his disciple, Jn 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."

"Who is this Living God?"

The God who lives in me is a mighty God in Three Persons. I know me and only a mighty living God could have saved me and brought me through to where I am today.

The God I worship is no mystical being who is up there, somewhere, to be called out to.

No! My mighty God is a Trinity of three persons in one Godhead, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They have existed from eternity and these sacred Persons are co-equal, co-eternal and co-consubstantial; that is identical in essence though different in aspect. Each is possessed of the elements of personality, i.e. thought, feeling, conscience and will, so that there are three separate centres of consciousness, feeling and action within the Trinity. Yet, these together constitute one God. The Trinity is a truth superior to our understanding yet not contrary to our reason.

All three are omnipotent having unlimited or universal power, when applied to my God, his absolute power in the physical realm.

It should be noted however, that in the moral realm God has limited His own power by giving to man the power of free will, whereby he can act entirely according to his own dictates and violate his own intelligence and God’s will if he so chooses. The present state of the world is a graphic and tragic illustration of this fact.

Because of this self-imposed limitation on His power, God cannot do many things. He cannot make anyone love Him. When anyone attacks a disciple of Jesus, they are attacking God. Whatever the disciple and their family have to endure, God also endures it with them. There is no more sad and pathetic sight than people claiming to be God's leaders attacking the Lord and his servant, Acts 23:11 & 12.

Omnipotence is a natural attribute of the Godhead in that it is an unchangeable fact concerning His being, as opposed to a moral attribute, which is a matter of choice.

They are omniscient, having infinite knowledge or understanding of all that is knowable, and omnipresent, present in all places at the same time.

They are proven from Scripture
Mt 3:16-17; Ro 8:9; 1 Co 12:3-6; Eph 4:4-6; 1 Pe 1:2; 1 Jn 5:7; Jude 1:20-21.

They have special Titles
Ex 20:2, with Jn 20:28 and Ac 5:3-4.

They are Eternal
Ro 16:26, with Rev 22:13 and Heb 9:14.

They are Holy
Rev 4:8; Rev 15:4, with Ac 3:14 and 1 Jn 2:20.

They are True
Jn 7:28, with Rev 3:7.

To the Father I am said to be His "son" or "child", Jn 1:12-13, and never spoken of as His "brother".

To the Son I am a "brother" or together with others "bride" Rom 8:29; Heb 2:11-12 and 17; Eph 5:23-32; Rev 19:7-9; 21:2-9; 22:17, and never called His "son".

To the Holy Spirit I am never said to be in the relation of son, brother or bride. He is represented as Christ’s Deputy, or Vicegerent, or Representative. He indwells the temple of my body, 1 Cor 6:19. He builds the composite Temple of Christ formed of living stones, Eph 2:20-22. He acts as my Comforter or Helper, Jn 14:16, but He never appears as my Father, Brother or Bridegroom.

As the relations of the Members of the Trinity with man are distinct, it follows that the Persons themselves must be separate. They address one another, as the Holy Bible records many conversations between them, Ps 2:7-9, alluded to by Christ Himself in Rev 2:27; Ps 22:1; 40:6-8; with Heb 10:5-10; Ps 110:1; Isa 49:3, 5-9; 50:4-9. Their acts while harmonious and related to a central design are also quite well defined. The Father sends the Son; the Son sends the Spirit, Jn 16:7.

My God lives Forever! Rev 1:17-18 "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."

Surely this teaching from Jesus warms your heart?

Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralysed, and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

5:1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

2 and he began to teach them, saying:

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
