We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God "All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 2 Timothy 3:16. The Bible also reveals the Almighty
God.
We believe that Jesus is the eternal, self-existent God and is not a
created being. Even though He is fully God, He took upon Himself the form
of a man to live and die for our sins.
We believe that the
penalty for man's sin was paid on the cross of Calvary in Jesus' death.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. By believing on Jesus
Christ and accepting the grace of His shed blood, we receive the gift of
eternal life. "Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Ephesians 2:9.
Because we love Jesus
for His sacrificial death, we want to obey Him as he commands. "If
ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15. We are not saved by our works; but, because we are saved, we choose
to keep His commandments as the guide for successful living.
We believe that
prophecy reveals Jesus is coming again very soon. Mathew 24:32-51.
We believe that God's family is large and
that His children are spread among all denominations. He even has honest
seekers outside of Christianity. However, we believe that there is a way
to follow the Word of God in it's truest form.
Therefore, we seek to explain the Bible in
such a way that will lead souls to a truer understand of the Christian
faith. We take seriously the commission to "Go ye therefore and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of
the world" (Matthew 28:19). We do this without regard and with
compassion to all nationalities, races, genders, creeds, and religions.
We believe it is up to the Holy Spirit to convict people
of truth and lead them to fellowship and worship. (See John 16:13). Our
mission is simply to be faithful to our calling to teach the truths of
God's Word. We want you to make up your own mind, so we will never use
manipulative techniques to get you to believe as we do. We respect you
as a person and as a free moral agent, with a good mind that can grasp
the Bible's teachings.
So long as
you are sincere, the Holy Spirit will be faithful to the promise to
guide you into all truth. And He will make it plain to your mind and
spirit what He wants you to do. If we can be of some assistance in
helping you to learn your Bible better, then we will be satisfied that
we have fulfilled our mission.
