Ginger-pecan Chews – We Love God!

If your clothing is provocative, even though it may be your heart’s desire to remain pure for your spouse, you are sending the message to men, to boys, that you are ready for that sexual activity now. You're sending a conflicting message and you're making it hard for your brother to remain pure. When your clothing draws attention through its tightness, or through the flesh that it reveals, away from your face, where you could be treated as a person of intelligence and dignity, and to those parts of your body which have sexual functions, you are asking for trouble and you are causing your brother to stumble... Do we want our wives and our daughters to be looked upon as sex objects for the gratification of other men?

A Message from our Provider:

“There is more to Jesus than anyone has so far discovered”

Here are some things which must be done before one leaves a church: 1. We must check our motives very carefully. 2. Our reasons must be well grounded and clearly articulated. 3. We must be in regular, earnest prayer about the matter. 4. We must guard our tongues very carefully. 5. We must be extremely careful that we do not unnecessarily create unrest in other members. 6. Our discussions with the leadership must be characterized by love. 7. Our attempts to correct matters must be with great respect, care and patience. 8. If our concern is over personal preferences, rather than biblical matters, we must consider others’ interests more important than ours. 9. Great care should be taken that we submit to the leadership of the church, unless we determine with proper counsel that there is a serious biblical issue at stake. 10. If the leadership will listen, we need to give them plenty of time to consider the matter. 11. If the leadership will not listen to us, or will not take proper action to correct the matter and we are thoroughly convinced that there is a serious biblical issue, we should ask for a meeting of the church in which to express our concerns. 12. We should ask ourselves what we have personally done to correct any wrong or deficiency in the church with which we are concerned. 13. We should evaluate if our leaving would do harm to an otherwise good church. 14. We should never leave, nor encourage others to leave, unless we are thoroughly convinced that one or both of the following conditions exist: 1) that the church has become an apostate church (where serious unbiblical teaching or practices are allowed), or 2) that we are convinced that, over the long haul, we cannot find a place to serve in the church, or that our families will not be spiritually fed in that body.
