Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
A man reading the Bible with deep concentration in a vast field

And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

Leviticus 19:1 – 19:37

  1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
  2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
  3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
  4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
  5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will.
  6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
  7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted.
  8 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
  9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
  10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the Lord your God.
  11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
  12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the Lord.
  13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
  14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the Lord.
  15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
  16 Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the Lord.
  17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
  18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the Lord.
  19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
  20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that [is] a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
  21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.
  22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
  23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
  24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord [withal].
  25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the Lord your God.
  26 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
  27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
  28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the Lord.
  29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
  30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the Lord.
  31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the Lord your God.
  32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the Lord.
  33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
  34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the Lord your God.
  35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
  36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
  37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the Lord.

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
