Mission Statement

In classical sacrifices, the people get the good bits, and the gods get the refuse, the bits that would get thrown out otherwise.

Not our God. Leviticus (particularly Leviticus 3) describes the sacrifices that our LORD demanded from His people of Israel. God gets the kidneys, the tail, and all the fat. He gets the prime steak, He gets the best.

Today we do not literally give sacrifices of animals. For us the ultimate sacrifice has been made through our Lord, Christ Jesus. But should always be our ambition to do the same thing - to offer God the best of what we have, to offer Him the fat, and not the smoke and bones.

Sam Is Patient...

Have you heard of this? You take the passage of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and substitute your name for the word love. We are supposed to be being made more and more into the image of Christ, and one of the defining aspects of Christ is His love.

Is it true of you?

Sam is patient, Sam is kind. She does not envy, she does not boast, she is not proud. She is not rude, she is not self-seeking, she is not easily angered, she keeps no record of wrongs. Sam does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. She always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I think I need some work.
