“The Early Church Fathers” is a 38-volume collection of writings from the first 800 years of Christianity. Most of the text is online, but not the indexes. Bible-believing Christians understand that the term “church fathers” is a Catholic concept (adopted by Protestants) and it is not biblical. The Lord Jesus Christ warned against calling men fathers in the sense of a religious title. The only authoritative writings we have are those in the Bible canon. The writings of early church leaders are helpful to determine what various men believed, but they have absolutely no authority. Another problem with this collection is that it makes no clear distinction between sound teachers and heretics. In fact, most of the “fathers” included are heretics. In spite of these reservations, this massive set of documents is a valuable historical research source.

Being a Five-Star Christian
A GREAT CHURCH IS MADE UP OF STRONG CHRISTIANS AND STRONG CHRISTIAN FAMILIES.
Read God’s Word
The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Reading the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As we read the Bible, we should search the Scriptures, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Also, set a goal to memorize Scripture and meditate on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families each day, we need to be reading the Word of God.
Pray
We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt about it, the greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of prayer. Pray each day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church leaders and their families. Pray for your church. Pray for our nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list. Pray.
Attend Church Faithfully
The Lord Jesus Christ deserves your faithfulness. Attend every service of the church. A great deal of the strength of the church is based on the faithfulness of the people. Support special meetings at the church with your faithful attendance.
Give
God’s work is to be supported God’s way. The Bible teaches that we should pay the tithe and give our offerings. Practice tithing as a conviction. Bring the Lord’s tithe with you to church each Sunday. Support the ministries of the church with offerings. By faith give to worldwide missions. Support the Christian education endeavors of the church. We cannot outgive God.
Witness to the Lost
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. He left us on earth to tell others about the Savior. Determine to bring others to the Savior. Work to bring other families to Christ and to the church. Set a time to go. Make a list of names and addresses of people you want to reach for Christ.
Determine to Be a Five-Star Christian
This is a time when you can be a real help and encouragement to your pastor. May God help you to work together to see something beyond the ordinary accomplished for Christ through your church.
Mountain States Baptist College
Mountain States Baptist College is a Fundamentalist, four-year Biblical arts college that stands for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Only the King James Bible is used in the classroom (the Textus Receptus in the Greek classes). Every student at Mountain States majors in the Bible. Students are not only taught the Bible, but they are given the tools to be more effective in their study and teaching the word of God.
The need has never been greater to train fundamental, independent Baptist leaders for the next generation. Our college is dedicated to exalting our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rather than men or personalities, and it stands in stark contrast to the atheistic and humanistic approach which characterizes most institutions of higher learning in our country.
Pensacola Christian College was founded with the purpose of training young men and women for a life of service to the Lord Jesus Christ. The College is unlike any other institution. It has its own personality, character, and philosophy of education. God has called this institution into existence for His own glory; therefore, the administration, faculty, and staff are dedicated to training young people for His service. The mission of Pensacola Christian College is to glorify God through the ministry of education from a Biblical perspective and through ministries that edify and reach out to all people.
