Finally, let us remember to pray for each other. Homeschooling and even
considering homeschooling is a blessing from the Lord, but also requires
diligence and yielding to Him. Could you right now ask Jesus to give
wisdom and joy to that mom who might be feeling unsure and fearful about
bringing her kids home?
Enjoy your visit.
Blessings to you and your child,

Statement Of Faith
We believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior; that the Bible, both Old and
New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, in
His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death
through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension and
His personal return in power and glory, and the presence and power of
the Holy Spirit.
Do You Know Jesus?
Our greatest desire is for people to come to know God personally. The
simple truth is that there is a God who created you and loves you very
much. (Genesis 1:1) He gave us life and deserves our gratitude and love.
We, however, have chosen to disobey Him and sin against Him; all of us
have done wrong and failed to do what is right. (Romans 3:23) We may not
be more sinful than our neighbor, or we may be far worse than anyone we
know, it does not matter. Either way, we are guilty before God. (1 John
1:8)
God is perfect, completely good, always right and fair. He cannot
tolerate sin. He cannot simply overlook the fact that we have chosen to
disobey Him. The Bible says "the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)
This means that the fair payment for our rebellion against God is death.
It is the punishment that we deserve.
Jesus, the one and only Son of God, came to earth and lived a perfect
sinless life. He was crucified even though He was completely innocent.
He received the punishment that we deserved. He was the perfect
sacrifice, He was put into our place and took on Himself the sentence of
death that should have been ours. (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not, however, remain dead. After three days, He rose from the
grave and later ascended into heaven. He will return for all those who
are trusting in Him as their Savior.
Jesus died for you. You can be saved by asking Him for forgiveness from
your sins. If you are willing to repent of your sin, He is waiting to
forgive you. It doesn't matter what you have done in the past, if you
cry out to Jesus for forgiveness, He will not reject you. The word
"repent" literally means "to turn away from." You need to look at your
life, admit that you are a sinner, genuinely desire to turn your back on
that sin, and ask Him to forgive you. If you do this, He promises to
forgive you.
True Christianity is not about attending a particular church, or how
your parents raised you, or what country you were born in. Being a
Christian means that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
that He is your Savior. It's not good enough that your priest, pastor,
mother, or aunt knows Jesus, you must know Him for yourself. They cannot
believe in Him for you, you must believe for yourself. They cannot
repent for you, you must repent for yourself.
Jesus is everywhere all the time. He can hear you now if you ask Him for
forgiveness. Please turn your life over to Him NOW. Time slips by so
quickly, don't miss this opportunity. If you want to pray and ask Jesus
to be your Savior, you can say a prayer something like this:
"Jesus, I know that I have sinned against you. I know the truth is that
I have sinned by my own choice, and I am the one responsible for it. I
know that I have earned punishment from You, and that the fair
punishment would be death. Jesus, I believe that You died in my place.
Forgive me for my sin. I cannot cover or take my sin away, I am relying
totally and only on You. You are the only one who can save me. I reject
my sin, I turn away from it, I repent. Come into my life, take away my
sin, and show me how to live my life in a way that is right and pleasing
to You."
If you have prayed this, YOU ARE SAVED! You are now completely forgiven,
a new creation, innocent in the eyes of God. Welcome to the family of
God!
It is important for you to start to grow in your relationship with
Jesus. Just like any relationship, you need to spend time with someone
if you want to know them well. The way to know God is through the Bible.
It's also important to find a church you can attend where they teach the
Bible. This will allow you to talk with a pastor who will help explain
questions you might have, and it will give you a chance to spend time
with other Christians who can encourage you.
