prayers." Acts 2:42
A Brief Doctrinal Statement
We believe in the entire Word
of God which is of divine inspiration of God. The Scriptures are preserved in
different languages throughout the world. We use the King James version only,
because we are English speaking people, and also it's the most accurate version
in English provided by God. We do not believe the KJV is an advanced
revelation or inspired like the original.
All Scripture
is given for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in
righteousness.
We are to
observe ALL what Christ has commanded (Matt. 28:20).
We believe in the Holy
Trinity, the doctrines of the wonderful and precious truths of Sovereign Grace;
justification by Christ's imputed righteousness; God created all things in six
literal days; believers baptism, strict communion, separation from the world and
from false churches; the independence of the local Church; the antichrist being
the Pope of Rome and the Kingdom of
God is "not of this world" as defined by Christ himself in John 18:36.

"The Lord is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be afraid?"
--Psalm 27:1
"The Lord is my light and my salvation." Here is personal interest, "my
light," "my salvation"; the soul is assured of it, and therefore declares
it boldly. Into the soul at the new birth divine light is poured as the
precursor of salvation; where there is not enough light to reveal our own
darkness and to make us long for the Lord Jesus, there is no evidence of
salvation. After conversion our God is our joy, comfort, guide, teacher,
and in every sense our light: He is light within, light around, light
reflected from us, and light to be revealed to us. Note, it is not said
merely that the Lord gives light, but that He is light; nor that He gives
salvation, but that He is salvation; he, then, who by faith has laid hold
upon God, has all covenant blessings in his possession.
This being
made sure as a fact, the argument drawn from it is put in the form of a
question, "Whom shall I fear?" A question which is its own answer. The
powers of darkness are not to be feared, for the Lord, our light, destroys
them; and the damnation of hell is not to be dreaded by us, for the Lord
is our salvation. This is a very different challenge from that of boastful
Goliath, for it rests, not upon the conceited vigour of an arm of flesh,
but upon the real power of the omnipotent I AM. "The Lord is the strength
of my life." Here is a third glowing epithet, to show that the writer's
hope was fastened with a threefold cord which could not be broken. We may
well accumulate terms of praise where the Lord lavishes deeds of grace.
Our life derives all its strength from God; and if He deigns to make us
strong, we cannot be weakened by all the machinations of the adversary.
"Of whom shall I be afraid?" The bold question looks into the future as
well as the present. "If God be for us," who can be against us, either now
or in time to come?
"Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do."

How m
How much God made known before hand of what should transpire on that day
of days! What a complete picture did the Holy Spirit furnish of our Lord’s
Passion with all the attendant circumstances! Among other things it had
been foretold that the Saviour should "make intercession for the
transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12). This did not have reference to the present
ministry of Christ at God’s right hand. It is true that "he is able also
to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever
liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25), but this speaks of
what he is doing now for those who have believed on him, whereas Isaiah
53:12 had reference to his gracious act at the time of his crucifixion.
Observe what his intercession for the transgressors is there linked with -
"and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors."
That Christ should make intercession for his enemies was one of the items
of the wonderful prophecy found in Isaiah 53. This chapter tells us at
least ten things about the humiliation and suffering of the Redeemer. It
declared that he should be despised and rejected of men; that he should be
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; that he should be wounded,
bruised and chastised; that he should be led, unresistingly, to slaughter;
that he should be dumb before his shearers; that he should not only suffer
at the hands of man but also be bruised by the Lord; that he should pour
out his soul unto death; that he should be buried in a rich man’s tomb;
and then it was added, that he would be numbered with transgressors; and
finally, that he should make intercession for the transgressors. Here then
was the prophecy - "and made intercession for the transgressors"; there
was the fulfillment of it - "Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they do". He thought of his murderers. He pleaded for his crucifiers; he
made intercession for their forgiveness.
