The Ruth House

“Come just as you are… let the miracle begin!”

 

“Whoever comes to me and hears my sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:  He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.  And when the flood arose the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”  (Luke 6:47-48 NKJV)

• Spiritual Growth

         A relational ministry program to develop and enhance spiritual growth

                                       Bible-based spiritual growth classes

                                       Local church attendance and involvement

 

         The purpose is to lead women to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.We                    understand that a transformation must take place and it is only through the Living            Word and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ that this will happen.

​

          It is through the Living Word that our minds are renewed (restored to freshness or            an original state).The “mind” is made up of the intellect or understanding and                  includes all that is described in the word “mind-set”; that is, reasoning, emotions              and will.

​

          Being transformed “by the renewal of the mind” indicates a literal change in the              form or formulas of thought or being.This describes Redemption’s provision of                  power to instill godliness in us – a power that transforms:

                 

                 1.  Our thoughts which lead to formulating 

                 2.  Our purposes, which proceed to dictate 

                 3.  Our actions and our actions become 

                 4.  Character determining habits, shaping our lives and setting the

                      course for the future.

​​​

         I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of               stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  I will put My Spirit within you           and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do                   them.  (Ezekiel 36:26-27 NKJV)

​

        This new heart will be pliable and teachable.  A new will and a new attitude of spirit          enable the individual to live a godly life.
