A place that emphasize on building people
My Parents had a young boy, and one day this young boy went to the edge of the South side of the Kingdom. And fell hundreds of feet to the Earth, after awaking into a new world he knew that this wasn't his true home. So as a youth his goal was to return back to his Kingdom in Heaven.
Every summer we would go to Virginia, and Maryland during the summer months. Often I would watch the Naval Ships cross the Cheseapeke Bay Bridge and Tunnel some 22 mile long bridge, and when I became of age I joined The United States Navy. Some 30 years ago.
After the great flood during the days of Noah, God waited for many generations. Before building the foundation that we walk on today, it was built on relationship, loyalty, dedication, and commitment.
Children, obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: (Ephesians 6,1)
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, Knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably. But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever .
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame. (1 Peter 2,4-6)
We are of God, He who knows God hear us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and Knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is Love. (1 John 4,6-8)
Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; Who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this he did once for all when He offered up Himself.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me ; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
(Galatians 2,20)
