(*) Actively engaging in the Church & the advancing of the Kingdom of God is critical for ones spiritual development.

“Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge that I have gone my own way.  I have sinned in thought, word and deed.  I am sorry for my sins.  I turn away from them in repentance.  I believe that you died for me, bearing my sins in your own body.  I thank you for your great love.  Now I open the door of my heart to you.  Come in, Lord Jesus.  Come in as my savior, and cleanse me.  Come in as my Lord, and take control of me.  Now give me your Holy Spirit that I may love and serve you all the days of my life from this day forward.  Amen!”
