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.

Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell



“For David speaketh concerning him, ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (Acts 2:25-27)
This is Peter speaking on the day of Pentecost. Though Christ took upon him the sins of the world, he was not left in hell, nor will we be, if we repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. If we but accept Christ atonement and repent we change our lives daily as we stand before God in prayer giving an accounting of the day we can lay down in rest.  It sounds so simple and yet, don’t we sometimes have a restless night, unwilling to let go and let God handle it. I know I do being the hardheaded individual that I am it’s sometimes hard to let go.
