| For God so loved the world that 
he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life. John 3:16

Dig deeper The Bible is 
			God's message to us today.  Many Bibles are direct translations 
			and best for study.  Some are paraphrased for readability.  A free online bible for your computer, tablet or phone 
can be found at Bible.com. You can listen 
to it as well as read it online.  Bible.com also provides a
great daily devotional and easy online reading plan just for people who want 
to learn more about God. Should you choose to read on your own, some books of 
the Bible are easier to 
read first. Some translations are
more accurate 
than others.      |  
			| TV, Radio and online 
messages    Sadly, many in the name of God use religion 
as a pathway to make money.  Whereas not everyone asking for donations 
during the program falls into this group, most do. You may never 
hear a plea for funds on any TV telecast for the below exceptions. While you're looking for a church and perhaps 
even after, you'll be able to watch or listen to Biblical teaching whenever you 
want. |

			Dig Deeper God is a 
Spirit and He 
created all things. 
All of mankind has 
done wrong which has caused separation from a pure God. God 
demonstrated His saving love to us through Jesus Christ
who became man and is
the only way to God. Jesus 
Christ paid the price for the wrong of mankind by dying on the cross and rising 
from the dead. Those who 
accept his payment are
saved by grace (receiving what we don't deserve) 
and become children of God.       |  
			| Finding a Church 
			The Bible teaches us to 
attend a church. The word, "church" is a universal name.  Just as 
God is loving 
and good, Satan is evil and 
deception 
is Satan's #1 tool.  Now that you've become a 
child of God, 
Satan wants to handicap you 
by not letting you get fed. 
it is very important that the church you attend uses the 
Bible as the 
basis for truth. If the Bible isn't the basis, then the basis for truth is
determined by man who is
flawed. Churches fall into a three general groups. 
	Churches that believe that they must derive all 
	truth about 
	God from the Bible, God's Word.Some believe the basic truths of the Bible but give 
	in to social pressures 
	to not call wrong what the Bible clearly calls wrong.  For example, 
	they are deceived in calling right, sex outside of marriage between a man 
	and his wife. 
	They condone
	
	abortion.  Some also teach that all Christians should be 
	rich and without 
	sickness. Consider that Jesus 
	our perfect example, was homeless.As the Bible teaches, there are those who have been
	deceived and don't 
	believe that
	Jesus as God, paid the
	perfect sacrifice
	for our sins.  Those 
	are typically called cults. Many of the people in these churches are very 
	nice. However, these churches use their church beliefs and at times
	other books as the 
	basis for their belief.  Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses along with 
	others fall into this category.   In order to find a Bible believing church, you 
may need to look at a doctrinal statement or ask the office if any of their 
beliefs fit into group #2.   Grace Church (which we are not affiliated with) put 
together a limited
list of Bible believing churches 
who agree with Grace's doctrinal 
statement (see "NOTE" below). Whereas there are 
thousands of churches not on this list that are biblically sound, it may be 
helpful for you to see what denominations are NOT on the list. It may be best to 
carefully look at the beliefs of those churches. NOTE:  A suggested modification of this 
otherwise excellent doctrinal statement is under the second "God the Son," 
paragraph 5, to remove the phrase "assumed the place of a Son." Live near Seattle?   |            |
