The Window" (Author unknown)

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man  was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and   families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military  service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the  man in the bed next to the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where  his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and  color of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while  children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite  detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.  Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive  words. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should hehave all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see  anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented, the man felt  ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy eroded into resentment and soon turned him sour. He   began to brood and found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that  window - and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window  began to cough. He was choking on the fluid in his lungs. The other man   watched in the dimly lit room as the struggling man by the window groped for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking  stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence--deathly silence.
The following morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths. When she found the lifeless body of the man by the window, she was saddened and called the hospital attendant to take it away--no  words, no fuss. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the man asked if he  could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his   first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
Moral of the story:

The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we consciously choose to express. It is not a gift that gets delivered to our doorstep each morning, nor does it come through the window. And I am certain that our circumstances are just a small part of what makes us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never find lasting joy.

The pursuit of happiness is an inward journey. Our minds are like   programs, awaiting the code that will determine behaviors; like bank vaults awaiting our deposits. If we regularly deposit positive, encouraging, and uplifting thoughts, if we continue to bite our lips  just before we begin to grumble and complain, if we shoot down that seemingly harmless negative thought as it germinates, we will find that there is much to rejoice about.

                            Statement of Faith

 (A) The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and written inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. The scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. The King James Version and other translations will be used.

 (B) Dispensationalism

We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural, literal sense reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life which define man's responsibilities in successive ages. These dispensations are not ways of salvation, but rather are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to His purpose. Three of these dispensations - the age of law, the age of the Church, and the age of the kingdom - are the subjects of the Church detailed revelation in scripture.

 (C) The Godhead

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons namely the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.

 (D)  The Person and Work of Christ

(1) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.

(2) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.

(3) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.

 (E)The Person and Work of the Holy Ghost

We believe the Holy Ghost convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and, that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.

We believe that He is the Divine Teacher who assists believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled with the Spirit as evidenced outwardly with speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowal of spiritual gifts to every believer. God uniquely uses evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers, in the assembly, in order that they can do the work of the ministry.

 (F)  The Total Depravity of Man

We believe that man was created in the image of likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.

(G)  Salvation

 We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.

We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.

 (H)  The Church

 We believe that the local church, which is the body of the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-again persons.

We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.

We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control.

We recognize water baptism and Communion as the Scriptural ordinances of obedience for the Church in this age.

(I)  Separation

We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord; and, that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly sinful pleasures, practices, and associations is commanded of God.

 (J)  The Second Advent of Christ

 We believe in that “blessed hope” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture His Church prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return, with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the Nation of Israel.

(K)  The Eternal Statement

 We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord.

We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious punishment and torment until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment and torment.

 (L) The Personality of Satan

 We believe that Satan is the author of sin and the cause of the fall of man; that he is the open and declared enemy of God and man and, that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire.

 (M) Creation

 We believe that God created the universe.  We reject evolution, the Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as un-scriptural theories of origin.

 (N)  Human Sexuality

 We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity should be engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex.

(O) Abortion

 We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder, we reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, or population control, or the mental well-being of the mother are acceptable.

 (P) Giving

 We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God's wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his/her local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the Church, there relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. We believe that Christian relinquishes all rights to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made.

 (Q) Holiness

 (1)  We believe Holiness is commanded in the Word and is God’s standard of living for His people.  We believe that those saved should live a separate, set apart life from the world.  We believe that Holiness isn’t in your hair, in your clothes, or even in your jewelry, but it’s something done on the inside shown on the outside.  Holiness is a standard to be raised above all else and to conduct ourselves in such a manner that everyone around can tell us apart.

 (R) Holy Ghost

 (1)      We believe in Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.  We believe that this is instructed in the Word of God and is a free gift, just as salvation, awaiting any believer that wishes to accept it.  We believe that the Holy Ghost was given to us after Jesus was resurrected from the tomb on the third day.  It was given to be our guide when we don’t know what to do; when we don’t know what to pray!

(2)We believe that speaking in tongues is a prayer language given by the Holy Ghost so that when we don’t understand what to pray, God uses us as a vessel of honor.  We believe all believer’s have the Holy Ghost, but not all have the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

(S) Divine Healing

 We believe that Divine Healing is offered to all who believe and is given to all in the Atonement.  We believe that Divine Healing and faith go hand in hand.  In the Word of God when someone came to the Lord for healing, Jesus would state, “Your FAITH has made you whole.”

 (T) Baptism

 We believe that Baptism by full immersion is the only way given by scripture.  Your body must go completely under the water because you are taking off the old man and putting on the new.  It’s the literal Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ.  When He died, our sins died with Him, He was buried and resurrected and this meant that our new man was clean of all sin. 

Ab ehl-e-kalesia bhi wafa bech rahay hain Kehnay ko farishtay hein Khuda bech rahay hain Do waqt ki roti ko tarsta hi jahan dil Is shehar mein kuch log dua bech rahay hain Thehro mein zara girjay ki kuch khak utha lon Kal mere rahnuma yeh jagah bech rahay hain Yeh zulam kay banni hain Naqeeb in ki no pocho Yeh asmat-o-hurmat ki dawa bech rahay hain

Waja jo Tu ne ki koi bhi aisa ker nahi sakta Kisi ke paap dhonay ko koi mar nahi sakta Waja ki youn to dunya mein hazaron dastanein hain Koi bhi rang-e-khoon Tere tarah se bhar nahi sakta Masiha Tere hathon mein nijat-e-admiat hi Jo Tujh tak agya phirta abad woh mar nahi sakta Jalal-e-Roh Alqudas mawra hi khof-e-dunya se Jo thamay hath Tera woh kisi se dar nahi sakta Hua jo ashna Yesu ke dar ka jo Naqeeb-e-jaan Jabeen phir aur ke dar peh kabhi bhi dhar nahi sakta

وفا جو تُونے کی کوئی بھی ایسے کر نہیں سکتا کسی کے پاپ دھونے کو کوئی بھی مر نہیں سکتا ....٭.... وفا کی یُوں تو دُنیا میں ہزاروں داستانیں ہیں کوئی بھی رنگِ خوں تیری طرح سے بھر نہیں سکتا ....٭.... مسیحا تیرے ہاتھوں میں نجاتِ آدمیت ہے جو تجھ تک آگیا پھرتا ابد وہ مر نہیں سکتا ....٭.... جلالِ رُوحِ اقَدس، ماورا ہے خوفِ دُنیا سے جو تھامے ہاتھ تیرا وہ کسی سے ڈر نہیں سکتا ....٭.... ہوا جو آشنا یسوع کے در کا وہ نقیب ِ جاں جبیں پھر اور کے در پہ کبھی بھی دھر نہیں سکتا
