Where’s your home?
For me, home is where my mother is … heaven.
Why do Christians love to sing hymns?
We purposefully utilize the senses our Creator designed for us! Music as part of Divine Worship unites heaven to the Church family. We get together where God, in His house, fills us to overflowing. Extraordinary merciful gifts equip us with the faith, forgive and create powerful peace that surpasses understanding.
How do you focus on Christ’s blessings?
A humble attitude gratefully receives strength to turn from selfishness toward devotion to understand His ways. We strive for healthy living among people around us, at least in as much as it depends upon each faithful individual. Selective singing and hearing are extremely beneficial experiences for us sinners. Classic arrangements enriched with sacred lyrics
- encourage gratitude
- broaden perspective
- teach genuine repentance
- open hearts to forgiveness
- enrich spiritual growth
- build unity
- form prayers
- ignite helpful memory
- exude wisdom
Receiving Jesus is to harmonize with others in the faith—including those already in heaven. Being at peace with God is to tell Truth. Our only chance of coming clean is in righteousness Christ earned for us. His birth, perfect self-control, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension—these for us save face. Frustration, heaviness, hurt, hazard, harm, death—all that is broken in this world is temporary. By the faith, certain hope fills all who depend on God’s Word.
Do you look forward to the Last Day at the very moment of our Father’s timing?
Jesus will use His authority to identify who cling to Him. By the faith, we know His chosen ones are safely gathered to live forever with Him in restored original perfection—completely separate from people left for hell, who in this brief life, are denying (or denied) Him by their own choice to reject the Holy Spirit.
