Network of Glory
Our Mission Statement
Network of Glory seeks to obey the Holy Bible and continue the mission of Christ Jesus by calling ALL people to love, obey, and honor the LORD God and seek the Kingdom of God FIRST (see e.g., Exodus 20:3; Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Deuteronomy 10:12; Proverbs 1:7; Matthew 22:37-38). The LORD God is the everlasting King, Judge, and Creator of the world, and He has given all authority to His Son, Christ Jesus (see e.g., Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 4:39; 2 Chronicles 20:6; Daniel 4:17, 34-37; Matthew 28:18-20; John 1:1-3). The LORD God and His Son Jesus love and care for us with an eternal love because God is eternal love (see e.g., John 3:16; John 13:1; Romans 8:35-39; 1 John 4:8).
Equally important, the Network of Glory seeks a better world by calling all people to love and care for one another and do good in the world and not evil (see e.g., Jeremiah 25:5-6; Micah 6:6-8; Matthew 22:39-40; John 15:12; Romans 12:9, 21; Romans 13:8-10). All people are called to bring glory to the LORD God in our words and good deeds (see e.g., Isaiah 43:7; Matthew 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:17).
Praise and worship of the LORD God with thanksgiving is an eternal requirement for all people (see e.g., Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalm 57:5; Psalm 100:1-5; Psalm 105:1; Ephesians 5:19-20; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 13:15; James 5:13).
With one mind, one heart, and one mouth, everyone throughout the world is called to glorify and worship the LORD God and His Son, Christ Jesus (see e.g., 1 Chronicles 16:28-29; Psalm 8:9; Romans 15:5-7; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:17). The whole earth is full of the LORD God’s glory (see e.g., Isaiah 6:3).
With singing and music, let everyone honor and praise the LORD (see e.g., Psalm 95:1-7; Psalm 135:1-3; Psalm 145:3, Psalm 150:1-6). All glory and honor belong to the LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus FOREVER (see e.g., Romans 11:36; Ephesians 3:21; Philippians 4:20; 1 Peter 4:11).
Hallelujah!
Who Is God?
Bible Teaches:
The Lord God is “the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever” (1 Timothy 1:17, NIV). God is omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (everywhere), and omniscient (all knowing) (Psalm 147:5; Proverbs 15:3; Genesis 1:1). For the Lord God is “compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished . . .” (Exodus 34:6-7, NIV).
What God Requires
Bible Teaches:
LORD has told you, human, what is good; He has told you what He wants from you: to do what is right to other people, love being kind to others, and live humbly, obeying your God. Micah 6:8 (NCV)
There Is Hope and New Life In Jesus
God's Easy Rules
There is a curious passage in the Talmud (the body of Jewish civil and religious law) which says that Moses gave six hundred laws to the ancient Israelites. As these laws or commands proved too numerous to commit to memory, King David brought these laws or commands down to eleven in Psalm 15. The prophet Isaiah reduced these eleven laws or commands to six at Isaiah 33:15. The prophet Micah further reduced the commands to three at Micah 6:8. The prophet Isaiah once more brought them down to two at Isaiah 56:1. These two commands the prophet Amos reduced to one (Amos 5:4). However, lest it might be supposed from this that God could be found only in the fulfillment of the Law, the prophet Habakkuk said, “The just shall live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). William H. Saulez, The Romance of the Hebrew Language (Classic Reprint), originally published 1913 and reprinted 2012.
In the New Testament at Matthew 22:34-40, a religious leader asked Jesus which are the most important commandments in the Law of Moses. Jesus replied: “You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire Law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:34-40, NLT).
An ancient writer Jerome (A.D. 374-419) tells of the frail and old apostle John telling his congregation, “Love one another.” When asked why he talked of nothing else, the apostle John replied, “Because it is the Lord’s command, and if this only done, it is enough” (see John 13:34-35).
Jesus said: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 (NIV).
Jesus said: "I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. All people will know that you are My followers if you love each other." John 13:34-35 (NCV).
For the whole Law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14 (NLT).
What is love? The Apostle Paul teaches: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. . . . So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 (ESV)
Apostle Paul teaches: 1 "So brothers and sisters, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to Him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to Him, which is the spiritual way for you to worship. 2 Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect." Romans 12:1-2 (NCV)
God wants everyone to love and obey Him and live righteous lives filled with goodness and kindness towards others (see Matthew 6:33; 2 Peter 1:5-9).
The Prophet Micah teaches: "The LORD has told you, human, what is good; He has told you what He wants from you: to do what is right for other people, loves being kind to others, and live humbly, obeying your God." Micah 6:8 (NCV)
