Thank you for stopping by to check out our website!
Pastor Tom and Debbie Hughes
God needs men who are willing to take a stand for what's right, and resist the evil tide that is constantly pushing against them today. This world does not value men of courage, conviction and spirituality. One of my favorite authors said it this way. "The greatest want of the world is the want of men [and women] who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall". Education, p. 57. (1903)

This site is the result of some dedicated friends who have helped to get the message of our church out to the world, at great personal cost. God has given me a message to preach for the last thirty years that can be summed up in three words, Christ Our Righteousness! Jesus is the love of my life and his perfect life, death and resurrection are the gospel that I preach. He is our only hope, and our only path to true happiness.
You will find many subjects addressed on this website. All of them have a golden thread that leads back to this one central theme: salvation by faith alone! Some of these topics include: International News, Medical, Radio & TV, Research, Video Sermons, Managing Change and more...
These issues have always worked in the past and they are working now! Let's talk about them, not for the purpose of making them our focus, but to show how ridiculous it is to put these issues in place of Jesus Christ.
1. Get them to talk about what they wear, focusing on extremes in dress. Our motto should be "We don't care what you wear, as long as you're there!" The Jewish people have always worn jewelry. Jesus put a ring on the prodigal son's hand. Sadly, we have too often put down people who even wear a wedding ring, when church policy allows it. We should teach modesty in dress, and in all our churches, let individuals make their own decision about what they wear. In our city churches, people have always worn an abundance of jewelry. In our country churches, our youth are subjected to constant criticism. It's unfair, and wrong. The bible clearly teaches that we should be modest in our dress, and not flaunt our wealth by showing off jewelry, but that is for the person to pray about. Come just as you are, and Jesus will accept you, and help you to follow him in modesty. Stop beating up on our girls and women about jewelry!
2. Get them to talk about what they eat, focusing on the extremes in diet. Two thirds of Seventh-day Adventists eat meat. Let's stop pretending that we are all vegan vegetarians, and stop acting like people who eat meat are second class citizens. MOST Adventists eat meat. To be a vegetarian is a noble ambition, and one we can all aspire to, but you are not a bad person if you are not vegetarian. We don't care what you eat as long as you're sweet! If you're mean as a snake, and always putting people down over food, what good is your religion? Meat-eaters are welcome in our churches! Jesus was one, fed meat to women and children, and his disciples! Wedge Issues
