The Hebrew word 'Bayith' can be translated in several ways but usually means 'house' or 'foundation'. Our ministry aims to be a welcoming house that helps to provide believers with foundational material to bless and encourage you.

The Psalmist said of the Scriptures:
"How sweet are Thy Words to my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)
"...More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb,
Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward" (Psalm 19:10-11)

Christians

“Christians are not distinguished from the rest of mankind by country, by speech nor by customs,
but although they live in both Greek and foreign cities and follow the local customs, both in clothing and food and the rest of life,
they exhibit the wonderful and, admittedly, strange nature of their own citizenship.

They live in their own homelands, but as sojourners.
They share all things as citizens and suffer all things as aliens.
Every foreign country is their homeland and every homeland a foreign country.

They marry as all do, they bear children, but do not discard their children as some do.
They offer a common table, but not a common bed.
They find themselves in the flesh, but do not live according to the flesh.

They pass their time upon earth, but are citizens of heaven.
They obey the established laws and surpass the laws in their own lives.

They love all and are persecuted by all.
They are put to death and are made alive.

They are poor, but make many rich.
They lack all things, yet abound in all things.

They are abused and give blessing.
They are insulted and give honour.

When they do good they are punished as evildoers.
When they are punished they rejoice as those receiving life.

And those who hate them are not able to state the cause of their hostility.”

Anon. C180AD
