Becoming The Church Online Library - BTC Mission & Vision

BTC Mission Statement

This statement was written from the heart by Chaplain Ann M. Wolf yet it is also expressed on behalf of those associated with BTC who are committed to learning how to live by “The Two Commandments of Jesus," while continuing to walk in Mercy and Grace:

We seek to become those who live, grow, serve, and speak from the Spirit within us, to walk in the fullness of Grace so that the Light of God and the Fruit of the Spirit will be found in us.

“And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is Truth” 1 John 5:6 (KJV)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22 & 23 (KJV)

Thus, we are committed to learning “how” to walk daily in the fullness of God’s Love and Mercy, while depending on Grace for guidance and “Its enabling power” to transform our souls by the Spirit of God.

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25 (KJV)

We are committed to learning what it means to honor the Commandments of Jesus… “To Love God with all of our heart, mind, and strength and to Love our neighbor as ourselves,” as well as “To deny the self (old nature/old man), to pick up our cross” (hold to the Spirit no matter how challenging the event) and follow Jesus (which is to learn to walk daily in mercy and grace).

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37- 40 (KJV)

“A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love, one to another.” – John 13:34-35 (KJV)“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:24-25 (KJV)

We invite all those who wish to share their Spiritual journey with us, to join in Community and in Communion as we reach for the Spirit to become Spiritual in nature, as we learn to live and walk by the Leading of the Spirit, and as we stand in prayer for each other, so that we will remain strong and merciful by the Spirit throughout all our trials and throughout our entire soul-transformation experience, “Unto” becoming “Christ-like” souls.

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:18 (KJV)

We offer support and edification to all people, regardless of religious or denominational affiliations, race, gender, cultural background or nationality.

We wish to fellowship together as Family by the Spirit of God, as we grow in Godly (Agape) Love, Godly Knowledge, and Godly Wisdom, all possible by the leading of the Spirit. In so doing, we wish to share with others the process of healing and transformation, as the Spirit creates within us, a deeper understanding of how to Love and how to express our Love in practical and meaningful ways.

This is what God our Father would have us do… to bring His Love and Comfort to others while we experience His Peace, moment to moment, in our own lives.

“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace and things wherewith one may edify another.” Romans 14:19 (KJV)

FAQs

What got Chaplain Ann M. Wolf started with the BTC Mission?

Though Ann has been a God-seeker all of her life, the BTC Mission is based on an inspiration received during her morning prayer time on October 1, 2001; since that time, Ann spent decades studying, researching, praying & preparing to encourage folks around the world with a simple message: "Love God & Love Others," as defined by the Two Commandments of Jesus. She also promotes the development of Fruit of the Spirit as well as awareness of our Unity via the Spirit of Christ which we all share.

What is Ann M. Wolf's purpose in sharing her musical and literary content?

The Spiritual artistry of Ann M. Wolf is based on Matthew 22:37-40 as well as on the understanding that as we develop "Fruit of the Spirit" by our association with The Spirit, we will not only take on more and more attributes of the Spirit, but in the process, this ultimately will make us better "witnesses" via the presence of that Spirit flowing through us. Others can potentially be drawn to God by His Light and Love in us.

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40

Says Chaplain Wolf, "One of our most important tasks in the Body is to not only pursue our personal relationship with God but also to encourage each other throughout the spiritual transformation process, as we also reach out to offer comfort and help to those in need."

First Allegiance: Chaplain Wolf continues, “Though the choices of religious affiliations in the Body of Christ are plentiful these days, our first allegiance must remain with God Himself, regardless of where we choose to worship or study. Further, our daily actions must be motivated by Mercy while reaching for Grace (Holy Spirit within), since the Living Spirit of God gives us the ability and wisdom to fulfill our purpose and calling as taught by the Shepherd Jesus.”

Hence, regardless of anyone's denomination, country of origin, race, gender, or cultural associations within the Body of Christ, Chaplain Ann offers resources to support folks in the daily challenges which any soul faces while undergoing transformation.
