How to Receive The Most Benefit From This Site
In order for you to get the most out of this site there are some things
we believe you will find helpful and, therefore,should know. This site
was designed with but one goal in mind. That goal , however, was
approached from two points of view and so how you use this site
depends upon which point of view you start from.
Our one goal in designing this place is to provide you with all the
legitimate assistance that we can in establishing a life with God
and, discovering all that He wants to show you , so that you may live
to the fullest in this life,as well as the life which is to come.
We have approached this goal from two points of view as stated
earlier. Both basically come from how you see life itself. The first
point of view is that life on this earth is a journey of grand discovery
and adventure. It has an individual starting point for each of us as
well as an individual ending point, but the path ways taken between
the two are many and varied. Not all paths lead to union with, and
discovery of God. Along your journey you will find many people that
will come along side you for awhile and then part ways at some
point for many different reasons. You will also find that God desires
to be invited, by you, to join your journey with no intention of leaving
before safe arrival at the end destination. It is up to you to invite him.
Until that initial commitment is made there can be no fellowship with
Him as you walk the road of life and you will find many crossroads
that you are not familiar with. On this journey of discovery, God
desires to be your guide. He knows every fork in every road that you
will encounter and where each one leads. He has been there.
Each of us stand at a different place on the road of life. It is because
of this that you will find that how you use this site best begins with
you asking yourself where you are on your spiritual journey. The first
part of this site is designed to introduce you to God by helping you
discover answers to valuable questions. If you are not certain that
you are a friend of God as well as a child born into his spiritual
family then it is crucial for you to go to the "Knowing God"
links first of all.
Each of the other links on this site are designed to be used as
resource tools to help you further discover God as He reveals
Himself to you personally in your daily life. This place is a gateway
to such discovery. It all must begin with an invitation from you to God
however. This site will also assist you in discovering who you are as
a member of the family of God.as well. We stand in a long line of
those who have walked these roads before us and they have left
much which we possess that is our rightful heritage as Christians.
Each of the doctrinal links , the links which are listed as helpful to
believers, the treasury of additional links, and the study library are
designed to assist you in knowing these things. Do not neglect to
visit the links in the " treasury". It is important to know the
biographical sketches of the preachers, missionaries, and the hymn
writers along with the hymns which they wrote. All of the links found
here will help you obtain the blessing of God by leading you to
discover what he asks that you do in order that He be allowed to
bestow such blessing upon you.
Some , such as the daily devotional links, should be used frequently.
Others are readily available for specialized needs, such as the
study library links. None of the links found on this site can take the
place of daily reading of the Bible itself however. It is for that reason
that you will find multiple Bible links throughout this place
Remember that which link you use at which time depends upon
where you are, and where you want to go with God. It is also
important to note that the individual ministries which are linked to
this site were chosen for their demonstrated desire and ability to
reach people with the Gospel and provide opportunity for you to join
them in that effort. Please consider helping us in this endeavor.
The second "starting point ", which was mentioned earlier, is the
view that this life is a form of schooling and preparation for eternity.
As is the case in every class, you may look on if you wish and never
enroll but you will not be allowed to graduate from the course of
study successfully. It all begins by asking God to place your name
on his roster which is known as The Book of Life. It is crucial
therefore that you start your examination of this site with the
"Knowing God" pages found here. You will not find great benefit
from the other links until you have enrolled into the Master 's Class.
You must surrender your life to Him and allow yourself to be taught
by Him. His primary texts are two. The first is Jesus Christ and the
second is The Bible . As I have said He , Himself in the form of the
Holy Spirit is the Master Teacher and He must be invited to enter
and take control of your life to teach you of these things. You will
find that there are multiple links to the Bible on this site because that
is the means that God uses to reveal Himself to us. There you will
find the revelation of the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ defined.
Knowing and obeying Jesus, The Christ of the Living God,
intimately is crucial to successful living both now and in the life to
come. Knowing and obeying the Bible intimately is the second most
important thing you can do for that same reason. Therefore which
links you use in what order depend upon what you want to know and
how badly you wish to know it. The links to Bible study, such as
Through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon Mc Gee, are there because
they are of tremendous value in this study process. Do not neglect
to spend time in the presence of My Utmost for His Highest, by
Oswald Chambers, as well as the Secret to Prayer by George
Muller, as you study God, for these men walked with Him unlike
most others. As you build a solid foundation in the Word of God and
in the Knowledge of Christ you will find that you will become more
drawn to the study library so please spend some time in that place.
The doctrinal statement which may be reached by the, " examine our
beliefs", link on the home page is not to be overlooked because it is
there that you may very well begin your study process by laying the
foundation for all other studies. To do this you should not just read
the statements and simply move on. Ask yourself if what is there is
supported by the Bible and the teaching of Jesus Christ. Do not stop
by asking that though. Go and see if it is actually supported by the
Scriptures. I would ask that you remember that this web site is not to
be substituted for a local church. If you have the ability and privilege
of gathering with a local assembly where the Bible is preached and
Jesus Christ is recognized and exalted as God use these tools as
supporting materials and not in place of that fellowship.
As another suggestion I would ask that you return to this web site
frequently for there are items that will be beneficial to you which are
in the works that will be added here. One example of such an
addition is the " Children's Corner" which I would encourage you to
look at.
Finally I would suggest that you do two things before leaving this
place today. Take a moment to fill out one of the
contact forms just to let us know that we are in fact touching
people's lives as we desire to do. The second thing to do is tell
others about 7 Stars Ministries so that they might benefit and we
might be able to keep providing the things we wish to provide as
people support us . May God Bless you as you use these pages
and Links.
