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.

Are we students or teachers?



“And a certain Jew named Apollos… was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue; whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard they took him unto them and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” (Acts 18: 24-26)
“For we know in part, But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things.” (1 Corinthians 13 : 9 – 11)
We grow in the Gospel even as we grow in life and progress in knowledge and experience. Some of us are content to be C students, some are A students while others excel beyond that and become masters and teachers.
