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.

Hope maketh not ashamed, because the Love of God...



“Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulations worketh patience; and patience, experiences, and experience, hope.  And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” (Romans 5: 1-5)
Here is the path.
Faith > peace > Jesus Christ > faith, grace, & hope of glory of God  
Tribulations > patience > experiences >  hope
Hope > Love > removes shame > Holy Ghost
