We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

We cannot know if a thing is right unless we ask of God.



We remember Saul who was struck down on his way to Damascus and the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him and said, Saul, Saul why persecuteth thou me, and Saul was made blind. He was already blind spiritually speaking but, now he became physically blind.  I cannot make it clear enough that the Lord does actually speak to individuals. Here was Saul going about “making havock of the church,” the scriptures tell us, he was an evil man according to man’s view point, but, the Lord knew Saul’s heart. In another scripture the Lord says, I would that ye were either hot or cold, but because you are lukewarm I will spew you out. Well, Saul was not lukewarm. He believed these Christians were the scum of the earth and he was doing what he thought was right and good. Unfortunately, many of us make the same mistake. I say again we cannot know of ourselves if a thing is right or good unless we ask of God.
