The #Christian-Chat Channel is an unique Internet ministry that is non-denominational in leadership and approach, and evangelical in its endeavor to inform and unite people who earnestly seek Jesus Christ.
We are associated with a much larger channel whose aims, policies and aspirations are similar. However being a smaller channel, we are able to be more "intimate" in our relationships with each other.
It is our mission to guide, instruct, inform, and encourage others to seek and follow the truth which leads to eternal life; that is, that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6).
It is also our commitment to help those who know Christ, grow in there knowledge and understanding of His truth, to better equip them to serve God (Ephesians 4:12). We stand encouraged in heart and united in love (Colossians 2:2) for the purpose of spreading the Gospel to all corners of the world (Matthew 28:19).
We take a sincere biblical stand on matters of faith and issues which effect spiritual growth. It is not our desire to condemn those who disagree with our mission, but for reason's of clarity with regard to the direction of our ministry, we state the following:
We recognize that people view certain issues such as abortion, homosexuality and other contemporary subjects in various ways and may not agree with the above convictions. Though we stand as a ministry in opposition to abortion and immoral behavior of any kind, we choose to love others despite differences of belief and opinion. It is our desire to show love and grace to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, despite our differences, and to those fellow Christians with whom we disagree we say,
* Footnote: For the sake of clarity, Paul's Letter to the Corinthians dealt with abhorant behavior by the believers of that Church. In his epistle, he lists a number of sins that the Corinthians were guilty of. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 reads: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." He goes on to say that that is what some of the Corinthians once were, and that they need to stop behaving as they once were. It is our understanding that, because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), believers who find themselves in sinful situations will be convicted by the Holy Spirit to repent of that sin. Without such conviction, one must ask the question, "Are you truly born-again?" Because it is possible for a Christian to be deceived on a particular issue, we make no judgment as to the eternal position one may hold, but it is important to know that if one does not have a sense of conviction in response to obvious sinful behavior, the sincerity of their faith is in question. As Galatians 6:1 instructs us, it is our hope to gently guide to repentence those who have a view that they may sin and not face consequences. It is important that we understand that sin is not to be taken lightly, despite our inclination to succumb to temptations.
