Emmanuel: God-With-Us and
Us-With-God

God is not Alenuel (God-Against-Us), Tachteynuel (God-Under-Us), or "Menuel" (God-Away-From-Us), but Emmanuel (God-With-Us), with us in Christ through every aspect of existence from birth to death. Because He is fully "God-With-Us," He secures our eternal hope and identity as "Us-With-God."

Let the Word of God Go First

Sharing our faith is not made easier by thinking we have to do it in our own words. God’s given us a whole book of good words to use.

No Interchangeable Parts

In heaven everyone will love the other as himself and thus enjoy the other’s happiness as much as his own. In this way, everyone will possess the happiness of everyone else, and each individual the totality of happiness.
