Our Statement:-
We’re not converts to Christianity; WE’RE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST. (Matthew 16:24) We don’t just want purity; we want HOLINESS. (1 Peter 1:16) We’re not just after visitation; we want HABITATION. (John 14:23) We don’t just want the hands of God; we want to SEE HIS FACE. (Psalm 11:7) We don’t just want talent; we want ANOINTING. (Isaiah 61:1) We don’t want to live for ourselves; we want to DIE THAT WE MIGHT LIVE IN HIM. (Gal 2:20) We don’t need comfort; we need PEACE. (Philippians (4:7) We don’t need happiness; we need JOY. (Isaiah 12:3) We don’t need the conditional acceptance of men, but the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD. (Rom 8:37-39) We don’t need to add anything to our lives in order to be successful; we need to cast off everything we have – considering it all rubbish- that we might GAIN CHRIST AND BE FOUND IN HIM. (Philippians 3:8-9) We don’t want religion; we want RELATIONSHIP. (John 15:14-15) We don’t just want life; we want LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.

(Psalm 50:5) We don’t just want to give an offering; we want to BE A SACRIFICE. (Romans 12:1) We don’t just want to live in fellowship; we want to ABIDE IN UNITY. (Ephesians 4:3) We won’t just give Him affection; He has our DEVOTION. (1 Corinthians 7:35) We don’t just want to sing a song, but LIVE A LIFE OF WORSHIP. (Romans 12:1) We don’t need money; we’re PROVIDED FOR. (Genesis 22:14) We don’t need fame; we’re IDENTIFIED. (John 1:12) We don’t want to fit in; we want to STAND OUT. (Philippians 2:15)
We don’t want to do what’s normal; we want to do WHAT’S RIGHT. (1 John 3:7) We don’t just want satisfaction; we want FULFILLMENT. (Ephesians 3:19) We’re not after an opinion, but HIS WILL. (Romans 12:2) We don’t want to look good; we want to SHINE. (Matthew 5:16) Just because there’s gold in us that doesn’t mean we’ve made it. We must pass through the fire; we need to be REFINED. (Daniel 12:10, Zechariah 13:9, 1 Peter 1:7)
“LORD, shake away the dirt in us; clean away the dross,
For what the world would say has value, we now consider loss.
We've found that everything is nothing so we're not afraid to lose it all,
For in dying to all we thought we knew we’ve come to know much more.
We want REVIVAL, REALIZATION, REVOLUTION, REVELATION.
We want to see the Glory transform the very face of our nation.”
Call us crazy, freaks, fanatics; we know we look different to you.
Our LORD is Jesus Christ of Nazareth; He did things different too.
He loved the ones who hurt Him, and called the poorest rich,
He raised the dead, fed the hungry and healed all the sick.
He said if you want to receive in life you have to learn to give.
He said that only in dying to self do you really learn to live.
He’ll turn your worldview upside down and set you free indeed.
He’ll change the way you think and talk and act and hear and see.
He’s not the kind for compromise; He says to count the cost.
He says lose your life to save it; He says take up your cross.
He looks for servant lovers who aren’t afraid to die,
And He says, ‘I’ll hold you to your word, and you hold Me to Mine.’
Our God’s a God of absolutes; He won’t back down on that.
He said to man, ‘ I AM THE TRUTH,’ and He won’t take it back.
And so we're not ashamed a bit of this gospel of Jesus Christ.
We won’t retract a word we’ve said; we’ve given Him our lives. |
