What we believe

We call our churches Landmark Churches because we have been following the teachings and Articles of Faith all these years and have not departed from them. Remove not the Ancient Landmark, which thy fathers have set. Prov. 22:28., Deut. 19:14. The list of our Articles of Faith and What We Believe is found in What we believe

About being yourself

I do think that we who have it all together really only see it one way and find it hard to be our selves. Until we can be ourselves we can not even begin to understand others and out relationships with them. It is all in interacting. That is why we stress equally yoked together with the Lord before being equally yoked together in marriage. In marriage, we become one and if we are divided on religion then the oneness is also divided and there is confusion. This confusion brings with it division and conflict. Until both are right on their faith, peace is impossible.. The hardest part in learning how to keep a marriage together is to be mature enough to accept the other as they are and give in to make things work for each other. That is impossible for those who are not able to be themselves. Why? Because as soon as a problem is solved it becomes a new problem as the cause will still evade the issues. How does one become him or her self? Here are some things to think about.

TEN THOUGHTS TO BEING YOURSELF

Name 10 people that know as much or more than you do.
Name 10 people that you admire and what it is that is different about each of them.
Name 10 people that you disagree with, but like them anyway.
Name 10 people that you have never given advise to.
Name 10 people that you have taken advise from with out an argument.
Name 10 people that you feel equal to.
Name 10 people that you like and what it is that you like about them.
Name 10 people that you have never had an argument with.
Name 10 times that you have listened to some one and never made a comment in reply or added your opinion.
Name 10 things you have done to improve your mind that you have never told anyone about.

These are just a guide to start thinking about the things that make us what we are. If you use a Bible basis for the answers you are on the right tract to learning who you are. Note; we will never be perfect and in control, but at least we will know who we are and where we are so adaptation is possible on a level ground. Hope this will start a discussion point.
