The purpose of this website is to introduce Biblical Christian teaching to anyone with interest in their spiritual life or seeking answers to questions in their spiritual journey. A secondary purpose for this site is to provide others an opportunity to link to us for greater networking of this information. This site is being presented from a Biblicist (one that adheres to the letter of Scripture) view point and is not presenting any particular church denomination's interpretation of the Scriptures or from a cult (one person's private interpretation of Scriptures). These views are considered to be in line with a Christian Orthodox view. (A view that is historically in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, his Apostles and God’s Prophets as written in the original Scriptures.) What God are we referring to? The prophet Jeremiah records God's declaration of Himself in Jeremiah 16:20-21 as follows: Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods! "Therefore behold, I am going to make them know- This time I will make them know My power and My might; And they shall know that My name is the Lord." (NASB)

The God of the Bible, His name is the LORD, creator of the heavens and the earth. As the Scriptures state: “Come now, let us reason together,”… (Isaiah 1:18)

    John 8:12-13 - Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." (NASB)
