Grace
has resolved to operate under the following
God-given values and to trust in the Lord for
all accomplishments under these principles.
• We
exist to glorify God: “Everyone
who is called by My name, whom I have created
for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have
made him.” (Isaiah 43:7) By definition,
the glory of God is the abounding weight and
richness of God’s splendor, honor, glorious
nobility, sovereignty, beauty, abundance and
the great physical weight or "quantity"
of God and His limitless worth. The glory of
God is the revelation and manifestation of all
that God has and is.
This
ministry lives to voice, praise, worship and
act for the glory of God. We desire and live
for God to be recognized for His importance,
worth and significance and we do this by upholding
the attributes of God by our words and actions.
Thus, this ministry exists to glorify God by
celebrating the sovereignty of God over all
things with every expression and to magnify
and ascribe honor to Him who is the “I
AM THAT I AM” by every deed. George Whitefield
said, "Let the name of Whitefield perish,
but Christ be glorified." Our goal is not
for a great name or ministry, but for our Father
to receive all glory and honor. We believe that
the avenue in which God the Father receives
glory and honor is through our fruitfulness
in Christ. “If you abide in Me, and My
words abide in you, you will ask what you desire,
and it shall be done for you. By this My Father
is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you
will be My disciples.” (John 15:7-8) This
fruit is Christ’s and must not come from
the resources of corrupt man or it will not
glorify God. It is Christ’s fruit that
comes by abiding in Him alone.
We
agree with John Piper when he said, “God
is most glorified when we are most satisfied
(abiding) in Him.” This ministry strives
to abide in Christ so that we might bear the
pure fruit of God and therefore, accomplish
the ultimate goal of proclaiming God’s
glorious reputation. “God’s Glory”
must always be our chief end because He is worthy
of this effort! “If anyone speaks, let
him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers,
let him do it as with the ability which God
supplies, that in all things God may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory
and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
(1 Peter 4:11)
