We are facing an unusual time in History but not so unusual to God. We are daily exposed to statistics that tell us how many people are dead and are walking in the valley of the shadow of Death. 

For many it looks as though there is no longer purpose to life or the purposes of God have been thwarted. But more than ever, we must be convinced that the purposes of God will stand even in Him calling men and women to His service. And to every Christian, those who have trusted in Jesus for the redemption of their Souls, we must submit ourselves to His purposes and become the super spreaders of the message of peace, hope and eternal life in Jesus Christ. 

It was John Calvin who reminded us that we are not our own the Lord owns us. The implication is that "If we, then, are not our own but the Lord’s, it is clear what error we must flee, and whither we must direct all the acts of our life. 

Our Confession in denying self

Our Conviction in God 

O, how much has that man profited who, having been taught that he is not his own, has taken away dominion and rule from his own reason that he may yield it to God! For, as consulting our self-interest is the pestilence that most effectively leads to our destruction, so the sole haven of salvation is to be wise in nothing and to will nothing through ourselves but to follow the leading of the Lord alone.
