Meet the family behind our mission
We are a Christian family (Paul and Brooke) with our four children. Our humble home is nestled in rural Williamsburg, Iowa, where the quiet pace of life allows us to truly appreciate God's creations. You might find us stargazing, playing basketball, observing our chickens, geese, and sheep, or simply enjoying a refreshing lemonade or coffee in our front yard chairs. We love watching spring storms roll in, meeting new people through our junk removal business (www.iowajunkbusters.com), and having engaging family conversations about the Faith. While out and about, we proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ through various methods. We view everything through a Biblical world view, always giving thanks to God for all things. Grace to the Humble was born from a desire to help new Believers grow into Faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Building a foundation of Faith
Our hope for every new believer who uses our resources is to gain a deep understanding of foundational doctrine and the wisdom of the Faith. We strive to provide tools and guidance that will empower you to grow in walk with Christ. Our goal is to equip you with everything you need to develop a robust and enduring relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Our guiding principle: Making disciples
The core belief that anchors Grace to the Humble and fuels our mission is rooted in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Scripture compels us to create a supportive environment where new believers can learn, grow, and ultimately become active disciples proclaiming the good news.
Statement of Faith
God
We believe in one God who is the creator and ruler of all things. The Trinity of God: One God, three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God. God is Holy, Perfect, Just, and Sovereign. Therefore, He rewards and punishes righteously and impartially.
Bible
Collection of 66 Books authored by God through human writers without error. The Bible is complete, true, and the final authority in every domain without compromise.
Man, sin, death, and judgment
God created man in God’s image in two distinct and separate genders (man and woman). Adam and Eve were the first husband and wife. They were deceived by Satan and sinned against God. We now live in a fallen world with the curse of sin and death because of their transgression. All mankind are guilty sinners and have broken at least one of God’s 10 commandments. Therefore, all are subject to God’s judgment, wrath, and eternal condemnation immediately upon death.
Jesus Christ and our salvation
Jesus Christ the only Begotten Son of God was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. He was both fully man and fully God. He willingly and sacrificially suffered and died on a cross to take the punishment that guilty sinners deserve. Jesus Christ rose on the 3rd day after death and was witnessed by hundreds. He paid our fine so we could be reconciled to God and have eternal joyful life for all who believe and abide.
Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our only way of Salvation (not by works; we cannot earn our way to Heaven).
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Christian Living with the Holy Spirit
Christians are to abide in Christ and repent from our sinful lifestyles. This is not done overnight nor is it done on our own power, but by the Holy Spirit through the Sanctification process. We are to read and study the Bible daily, serve and fellowship at a local Bible teaching Church, Pray and Trust in the Lord for everything.
Great Commission
Just before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, he gave all believers a final instruction called the Great Commission. Proclaiming the Gospel to others is obedience to God. The Gospel can be shared in many different ways-both verbally and written. However, when proclaiming the Gospel, it’s important to include why we need a savior. The Good News of the Gospel is only good news if the bad news is also presented.
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
