In the hymn How Firm a Foundation, the unknown author says, "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply; the flame shall not hurt thee, it’s only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine."  We are to be as that gold whose dross is being consumed.  Refined like gold is our prayer.

 This is the idea behind our name.  Our goal is to have a place for articles that are godly, Christ-centered, and encouraging to believers.  

 Through the future posts of this blog we hope you will be encouraged, inspired, and stimulated to knowing CHRIST as Who He is and in light of that, who we are to be.
