The Gospel


If you have never believed in Jesus as your Savior I beg you to please read this post-
Every person who has ever lived and ever will live has broken the laws of God. When we break God's law we "sin" against God, who is holy and perfect.  
Click Here to read from the Bible God's laws and see for your self if you measure up to His standards. Because of your sin you cannot live with a holy God but are condemned to separation from God. The Bible says that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” ( Romans 3:23) and that all are therefore subject to “everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power” (2 Thessalonians 1:9).
But the good news is that God has done something about it. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Jesus Christ, the perfect, sinless, Son of God, chose to take your place and suffer the penalty of your sin, which is death and separation from God. He did this to satisfy the righteous demands of the holiness and justice of God, His Father. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice; He died on a cross, but three days after His body was buried He rose from His grave, conquering death, so that all who truly believe in Him, repent of their sin, and trust in Him are able to come back to God and live for eternity with their Creator.
Therefore: “He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).
What a wonderful Savior—and what a wonderful salvation in Christ our Creator!

The Daughter of Destiny

As a home-schooler I have the opportunity of being able to chose some of my homework. Hurray! 
Last week my teacher (also known as my older sister) gave me the assignment of finding and memorizing a poem- I found this in a book called "Verses of Virtue."  It is rather lengthy but it is also full of beautiful concepts and ideas that are completely worth the work:


Long before the present battle
There was prophesied a day
Tinkling words, impov'rished prattle
Itching ears to hearts would sway.

In that day of broken marriage.
Femininity's demise,
Ladies lost their life and carriage.
All were "smart," but none were wise.

Rose up Mistress Amazonia
Warring women lead with mirth.
Most forgot the Pauline proverb,
"She'll be saved through childbirth."

Off to war went the daughters.
Left behind the men and babes.
Noble womanhood was slaughtered.
Craving freedom, became slaves.

Rise up Hannah - listen, here it!
Maidenhood's the royal throne,
Of those women, true of spirit,
Loving heaven, hearth, and home.

Rise up Hannah - others follow.
You will not proceed alone
And the victory's not hollow
When the truth is set in stone.

From the ashes of a culture
That knew God, but now knows none
Generations rose to prosper,
Forged by light from His true Son.

Taught at home, but raised for warfare,
Not the steel and fleshy kind,
But the battle that is more fair,
When the Spirit girds the mind.

Now there stands a breed of woman
Strong of mind and content of heart.
Cherishing the ancient virtues,
And from them will not depart:

Love of truth, and love of mother;
Purity; the Word of God;
Holiness to one another,
Homes to build, and keep, and laud.

Rise up Hannah - here's God's token,
That your youth has passed the test.
Three-fold strands will not be broken.
In thy sisters' friendship rest.

Rise up Hannah - happy sister.
Sarah's friend, Rebecca's love,
Sisters three, your God has given
Tender hearts knit from above.

Stand they now this generation
Birthed by hearts which turned to home;
Fathers who have changed direction
Mothers who no longer roam.

And the future is a bright one,
If to vision you will cleave
And will not trade God's truth for some
Mess of pottage known as ease.

Prepare to hear the heathen grumble,
Steel yourself to their complaint
Cynics moan and basely mumble
Gnash their teeth, but they will faint.

They will faint, and will not follow
For you tread the narrow road.
And in it's tread will chew and swallow
Selfish seeds unjustly sewn.

In the end, the Lord will vanquish
Vanquish them, but vindicate
All who love Christ's ancient order
And enter in the narrow gate.

Rise up Hannah - faithful daughter.
Onward Maiden to the quest.
You who called your mother blessed,
Someday shall in kind be blessed.

Rise up Hannah - to your station!
Daughter fair of destiny.
Light the path for generations.
Raise the torch of liberty

Our Mission

 Hark the voice of Jesus crying,-
"Who will go and work today?
field are white and harvest waiting!
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and strong the master calleth,
Rich reward he offers thee;
Who will answer gladly saying,
"here am I; send me, send me!"

If you cannot cross the ocean,
And the heathen lands explore;
you can find the heathen nearer,
you can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
you can give the Widows mite;
And the least you do for Jesus,
will be precious in His sight.

If you cannot speak like angels;
if you cannot preach like Paul;
you can tell the love of Jesus 
You can say He died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarm,
you can lead the little children
To the Saviour's waiting arms.

If you cannot be the watchman
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering peace and life to all;
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what heaven demands;
you can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet's hands.

If among the older people,
you may not be apt to teach;
"Feed my lambs," said Christ, our Shepherd,
"Place the food within their reach,"
And it may be that the children 
You have lead with trembling hand,
Will be found among your jewels
When you reach the better land.

let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you.
take the task He gives you gladly;
let the His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Hear am I; send me, send me!"
Daniel March, D.D.

Lord Help me to Work!


The wind blows hard, I care not-
My soul is sweetly calm
Christ my Savior is my rock
He holds me in His palm.
Though the world may fall apart
Christ’s love will never fail
He proved that when to the Cross
My sinful deeds He nailed.
Jesus was willing to die,
How can I do any less?
So many have never heard
How can I calmly rest?
Dear Jesus please take me today
And teach my hands to work
May your holy name be praised!
May I not shrink nor shirk!

Let Us Run The Race Before Us-


"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud
of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight,
 and sin which clings so closely, 
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter
of our faith, who for the joy that was set 
before him endured the cross, 
despising the shame, and is seated at the 
right hand of the throne of God.
Consider him who endured from sinners such
hostility against himself,
so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted."
-Hebrews 12:1-3
