Getting to Know Us ( Coming Soon )
As we, the Church of God, enter this new year; Tim Martin has blessed our congregation here in Whitehall and through our website, the larger covenant community, with another look at what exactly covenant is, what it means to every aspect of life, and how we should, and in fact need to respond to it, in order to sustain our existence!
Please join us as we begin to explore and rediscover these fundamental building-blocks!

A member of the wider Covenant Community, the Body of Christ, has written a very inspirational poem, which we are priveleged to share with you!
Is God Coming? An Advent Poem
a few pertinent lines from this poem are;
We are Kingdom of eternal light, where there’s no more dividing ‘sea’.
We are ‘New Heaven and New Earth’, from deathly curse now free.
New Creation – are we not? The night of Old Covenant chased away,
The Sun of Righteousness shines forth in us – a New Eternal Day.

What's New?
This year, our web-servant wanted to try something new. He is fairly handy with his camera, and as he rides around his new environs, he has been photographing, mostly the clouds, but including much of the beautiful scenery in this corner of God's Garden. This slideshow will, as God is willing, be updated regularly, with a whole new batch of pictures every month, from the previous month's adventures!
We hope you enjoy these representations of God's wondrous artwork!

Special Bulletin
This past Sonday, January 1st, in the year of our Lord and King, 2012, Bo Stuart delivered a special New Year's Day sermon which could easily have been titled 'The Year in Review, According to the Preacher ( Solomon )'. Bo reminded us again of the importance of mirth and enjoyment, as he had the congregation tittering ( metaphorically rolling in the aisles ). Although much of what Bo had for us was quite hilarious, and there was much laughter involved; this sermon was also an excellent reminder, again, of the complete and over-all sovereignty of God!
We would strongly recommend that you listen, very attentively, to this sermon, with open ears, mind, and heart, and may God bless it to your understanding!
Listen to it here.

The book of Ecclesiastes, if not carefully read, and understood correctly, can almost be dis-heartening, but Bo Stuart, in introducing this 'new' series, points out for us how we can receive the true message, and blessings, of the book.

A Beginner's Introduction to Covenant Theology in the real world.
by Steven J. Wagner
There is much confusion in present-day Christendom regarding the relationship between the family and the church, the church and the "state" and the family and the "state." There has been some worthwhile discussion of these three God ordained institutions in recent times and some serious moves toward a more Biblical understanding of the role that God intended for each. The author hopes that this explanation and illustration will encourage a greater understanding and further reformation of these vital spheres of authority. He believes that Covenantal Theology together with Preterist Eschatology provides the greatest hope for a full-blown, world-wide reformation that may possibly rival the Great Reformation.

Welcome to Truth in Living
Faithful application of God's Truth to every area of life is the only way to real prosperity, peace and liberty.
Once upon a time in America and the West in general, there were among most men common beliefs that informed their actions. This body of commonly held beliefs grew from a reformational Christian faith that took on and defeated the power brokers in the Church and the civil government. Among those beliefs were these:
-
There is such a thing as God's truth.
-
Truth by its very nature must be objective therefore man cannot be its source.
-
Man discovers truth as it is revealed to him by God.
Today, many Christians are confused and disillusioned. The beliefs they hold do not seem to carry much weight with the culture and they are at a loss when it comes to living life in conformity to these basic principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The advent of the modern "public" school, the nationalization of America with the post civil war amendments and court rulings and the minimization of the Gospel by mainline "Christianity" have all worked together to bring us into a post-Christian era with a humanist culture, a marginalized church and a neo-fascist civil government.
We who name the name of Christ are more likely to be conformed to the culture than to Christ. This ought not be and we believe that herein lies the answer to the cultural disintegration that we see all around us. How then must we live?
Truth IN Living is a web site sponsored and maintained by Covenant Community Church. We desire to serve those who recognize the problems in our families, churches and culture and are willing to go back to the God of our fathers in humble repentance and once again learn to live out the Good News of the Kingdom spoken of by our great Saviour and Teacher, Jesus Christ.
 Every generation of Christians has the duty to live out the Good News, the gospel of the Kingdom of God, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Every generation of Christians has the duty to learn from Scripture, History and Nature. Every generation of Christians has the duty to build upon the faithful works of our fathers while working to discover and correct their errors.
We believe in a very long future and know with certainty that the complete victory won in Christ is a present reality. The task of reformation, however, is never easy and is fraught with dangers. We encourage you to "fear not" and be of good courage for we know the power of Him whom we serve. Covenant Community Church is committed to presenting a full-orbed "where the rubber meets the road" Christian witness as we "study to show ourselves approved" and practice "Truth In Living." We desire to challenge, inform and edify the larger body of Christ. It is our hope that our effort here will be added to the faithful work of others and blessed of God to the reformation of the hearts and minds of husbands and fathers, families and churches.
May the blessings of the fullness of Christ, and His peace be upon you and your household as you dwell with all thankfulness and joy in the house of God . |

The Current Message on our Sign-board

'Heaven' and 'Hell'?
This is pretty strong language, yes, but is it really any different than some of the language that Jesus used in condemning the self-righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees?
We want to clarify, for you, that 'Heaven' is simply the enjoyment of the blessings of the Presence of God, whereas, the 'Hell' that we speak of here, could be described as the cursedness of a life lived in disobedience to His Covenant, and thus not in enjoyment of the benefits of His Presence!
