PEACE, LOVE, & HOPE THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR!
A Testament of our Faith
Joshua 24:22-27; 2nd Tim. 3:1-7
You can stretch it, shape it, mold it, make it, anyway you want to, but we (meaning, mankind) are living in a time when we are compelled to examine the very principles. We, (it seems), out of necessity, have to rethink our foundation of values established in and for our lives. And when we view conditions the world over, we (meaning, those who are called by the name of the LORD) must reconsider and maybe re-examine what we commonly hold to be self-evident that every life has meaning, each life has value, and your life and mine is made better when we find ways to help others find their path to destiny.
You know the Golden Rule, “do unto others as you would have them to do unto you”, Matt. 7;12. This rule for success in life is one that is both spiritual and practical, biblical and natural and up until now, it has stood the test of time. It has been a great source of insurance, allowing us to progress toward a higher moral calling, and a higher calling to righteousness, not based on our own rules and norms, but based on the law and testament of GOD.
Well, today that [Golden Rule] the moral rule, the spiritual guidance, this divine edict is being challenged. Today, more so than anytime in history, the idea of universal right and wrongs is being tested. The idea that there is a difference between what is acceptable and what is not acceptable even in the most uncivilized societies is being overshadowed by a spirit which allows us to believe that we can do life, live life, act out our life anyway we want to, not concerned about the GOD of the universe.
The great Apostle Paul, in writing his second epistle to his protege Timothy, warns us that in the last days, perilous times will come. These perilous times are an indication that mankind (not just each of us in our own lives) is at a point of inflection, where we will have to take stock of everything we do and everyone around us; and determine if what we are consuming, what we are taking in is good or not.
And so, as we navigate our way in and through each day of our lives, we should become more aware of GOD’s law of cause and effect.
This means that what, and how we do - what we do, has a major impact on others. It means we must increasingly be aware that because we are living in a society where information travels at the speed of light, it behooves us to be careful with our words and our actions, knowing that as children of light, and believers in Christ, we are playing a small part in shaping the world not just for tomorrow – but today. Accordingly, our lives are under scrutiny, [there will be witnesses], and we will be held accountable for everything we do for it is A TESTAMENT OF OUR FAITH.

It's All About LOVE!
From an early age, we teach our young to love and to serve the Lord! This is the most important thing you need to know “about us”! We spend much of our time learning of the love of Christ, and the rest of our time, demonstrating his LOVE. Our Core Belief is centered around the first and greatest commandment; and is likened unto the second...love your neighbor as thyself. Is their better training?
Core Beliefs: The Apostolic Doctrine.
Every ministry has fundamental beliefs that inspire worship. For us at Christ Temple, these fundamental beliefs form the doctrine that we adhere to. It is sometimes referred to as the Apostolic Doctrine. Building on the principles of the doctrine starts with fundamentals found in the Word of GOD.
