We are a people that are KNOWING, GROWING, and GOING for God’s Glory by the development of faith, belief, self, and relationships through the Word of God.
God is a God of change. He is a God of action. But God is not challenging us to change our outward situations. He is telling us to change from the inside.
How he wants to us change the way we view the stranger, the fatherless, the widows and the oppressed. How we wants us to change ourselves so that we become new creatures in Christ. How he wants us to change ourselves so that whatever force tries to combat us will not prevail against us. How he wants us to follow him, to follow Jesus and to follow the word of God.
God loves us. That despite all of our doubts, all of our fears, that there is a place in heaven for us, where nothing can harm us, where nothing abides but joy and jubilation and peace.
So I challenge you to accept the change that God has placed in your life.
Come
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
Learn
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:2-3
Be Transformed
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2; Philippians 3:12-16
Abundantly walking in the Blessings and Glory of God
He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

Wesley's Rule of Conduct
John Wesley wrote to his people called Methodist the following Rule of Conduct:
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
This is the meaning of the Passion. The crucifixion of Jesus is God's conduct; it is the rule for our lives as long as we shall live.
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
This is the meaning of the Passion. The crucifixion of Jesus is God's conduct; it is the rule for our lives as long as we shall live.

How Do I Become a Christian?
“What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31)
You think you’re a good person. You’ve always tried to be the best you can be, and do what is right. The good outweighs the bad in your life. But, after all of this, do you still feel empty, unsatisfied, void, and alone? You may have even tried things such as drinking, drugs, sex, materialism, partying, or hanging with a certain crowd to fill this unexplained need you have. But, is there still something that is missing from your life? There is One who can fill that void—God. If you’ve tried lots of solutions to make your life right, but none seem to work, then He is the answer.
You are here for a purpose, and not by accident. We were separated from God because of sin in the beginning of the world. But, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who lived on Earth, suffered punishment, and died on a cross to pay for your sins. Three days later, He rose from the dead. God has given us an important manual for life—the Bible. He is the Author of this book and has given significant, truthful instructions for how we can have joy, hope, and peace in life. He has the answers to the problems and emptiness you may face.
God loves you and wants you to live with Him in heaven?
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” JOHN 3:16(NIV)
The Bible teaches us that we are all sinners? Have you ever said, done or thought anything wrong?
As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;” ROMANS 3:10(NIV)
Rejecting God’s plan of eternal salvation will keep you out of heaven?
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ROMANS 6:23(NIV)
Being honest, truthful, kind, compassionate, loving, generous, unselfish, trying to keep the Ten Commandments and even going to church will not get you into heaven?
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” PROVERBS 14:12(NIV)
God loves you and has made a way to heaven through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ?
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast.” EPHESIANS 2:8-9(NIV)
What does God want you to do?
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” JOHN 1:12(NIV)
How can you believe?
“9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” ROMANS 10:9-10(NIV)
What can you do to show that you believe?
Pray and tell God that you believe and accept His Son as your Savior:
“Dear Lord God, Please forgive me for my sins. I believe that your Son the Lord Jesus Christ died to pay for my sins. I trust Him now as my personal Savior and Lord. I ask Him to be LORD of my life. Amen.”
God’s Promise’s
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” – 2 Peter 3:9
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast”. – Ephesians 2:8-9
“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
