78 years ago today, on August 30, 1948, the Church of God General Assembly in Birmingham, Alabama adopted the Declaration of Faith.

It remains our official expression of doctrine.

We believe:

1 In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2 In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
3 That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
4 That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
5 That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6 In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
7 Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
8 In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
9 In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
10 In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
11 Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
12 In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
13 In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
14 In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

This we believe.

Why do you go to church? You don’t have to go to church to go to heaven.

They’re right. Going to church doesn’t save you. Jesus does.

But let me ask you this… the next time you’re sick, don’t go to the doctor and see how that works out.

I go to church because I need it. I need the fellowship. I need the encouragement. I need the conviction. I need the reminder of who I am and whose I am.

Because I know sometime this week—probably sooner rather than later—I’m going to fail. I’m going to lose my patience. I may say something I shouldn’t say. I’ll fall short of the standard God has called me to.

I’m not perfect. Never have been. Never will be.

That’s why I go.

Church isn’t a place where perfect people gather. It’s a place where broken people come to worship a perfect Savior. It’s where we encourage one another, bear each other’s burdens, and grow together in our faith.

That building isn’t the church. It’s just a building.

The people inside who have been redeemed by the grace of God—that’s the church.

So no, I don’t go to church because I think it earns me a place in heaven. I go because I need a reset. I need to be reminded that I’m a sinner saved by the grace of God. I need to worship, to learn, and to be challenged to become more like Christ.

Hebrews 10:25 reminds us not to forsake assembling together. God knew we would need each other.

So I’ll keep showing up—not because I have to, but because I need to.

What’s your reason?

This week at children's church, we learned about our shepherd, Jesus, and following His voice!

John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

We are the sheep, and Jesus tells us where to go and what to do, just like a shepherd. If you are one of His sheep, you will hear and obey His voice - the Bible is His word and direction to us.

Does a sheep follow the voice of a stranger? No! We as the sheep of Jesus only listen to Him, not the enemy who would seek to harm us!

Please feel free to join us in children's church on Sunday mornings at 11, at the Parsons Church of God, 2701 Crawford in Parsons, KS. Our flock would love to have you!
