Brief Doctrinal Statement—
•I believe in existence of the triune God—God the Father, the sovereign creator and ruler of all things; the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, the virgin birth, his death and resurrection, the present exaltation at the Father’s right hand, and his imminent return; and the Holy Spirit, who is actively transforming the hearts and lives of the redeemed, while regenerating, sealing, and indwelling all believers (John 1:1-5; 10-18; Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3)
•I believe in the fallen and lost state of man, whose total depravity makes necessary his need for redemption (Romans 3:10-20; 23; Ephesians 2:1-5; Colossians 2:13-14)
•Because sin separates man from God, I believe in the necessity of reconciliation of man to God by faith alone through the substitutionary atonement of Christ (John 5:24-25; Romans 5:1-11; Colossians 1:21-23)
•I believe in the divine-inspired, authoritative, and infallibility of the Bible, which is sufficient guide for the life of the individual and the Church (Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:50; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
•I believe in Christ's call to evangelize the world, to preach the Gospel, and to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:16-20)
Life Quote—
“You are loved exactly as you are today, completely and unshakably, and there is neither anything you can do to make Him love you more, nor is there anything you can do to make him love you less. (from Phillip Yancey’s, What’s So Amazing About Grace, 70)
