A New Christian Paradigm

Hi there! First of all, I'd like to take some time to welcome you to my new site. I am a pastor here in Sarver, Pennsylvania. My church, the Sower's Chapel, is a community of believers, dedicated to the worship and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My theology is built on three basic principles:

• A committment to living out the greatest of the Lord's commandments: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you." (John 15:12-14)
• A commission to do the work of spreading that message, the core truth of the church, to the world. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19, 20)
• A belief that faithfully carrying out the work of the Lord God Jesus Christ through hearts that are open to His love and minds that are dedicated to His truth will stamp on the soul the character of Jesus our Lord and Savior, and grow a church driven by the power of His fully revealed Word to change lives, and not self-help or pop-psychology.

The embodiment of my faith can be found in True Christian Religion 2 and 3:

1. The Lord from eternity, who is Jehovah, came into the world to subdue the hells and to glorify His Humanity. Without this no mortal could have been saved, and those are saved who believe in Him.
2. God is one, in Whom is the Divine Trinity. He is the Lord God the Savior Jesus Christ. Saving faith is to believe in Him.
3. Evils must not be done because they are of the devil and from the devil.
4. Goods must be done because they are of God and from God. And these things must be done by a person as if from himself, but it must be believed that they are from the Lord with the person, and by means of him.

May we all be true servants of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
