What We Believe

We rejoice in the fact that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Peter 3:18).
 
We believe this salvation is a gift of God’s grace, appropriated through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This faith is a gift of divine grace, and is not simply knowledge of Jesus Christ, but is an act of personal trust accompanied by the miracles of regeneration and justification, leading to sanctification and glorification.

Weekly Pastor's Pen:

The Importance of a Biblical World-View of Genesis 1-3
Click Here to view more Pastor Pens.
While reading an evangelical publication, I came across an article that spoke to my
own conviction about creation, and it is worded so well that I thought I would
share it with you today.
 
The article begins by saying, "I'm convinced the opening chapters of Genesis are
not optional. They establish the vital foundation for everything we believe as
Christians.
 
Sadly, it is a foundation that is being systematically undermined by the very
institutions that should be most vigorously defending it. More and more Christian
educational institutions, apologists, and theologians are abandoning faith in the
literal truth of Genesis 1-3.
 
I recall reading a survey a few years ago which revealed that in one of America's
leading evangelical accrediting associations, whose membership boasted scores of
evangelical Bible colleges and universities, only five or six college-level schools
remain solidly opposed to the old-earth view of creation. The rest are open to a
reinterpretation of Genesis 1-3 that accommodates evolutionary theories.
 
Scores of well-known Bible teachers and apologists see the whole question as moot
[arguable], and some even aggressively argue that a literal approach to Genesis is
detrimental to the credibility of Christianity. They have given up the battle - or
worse, joined the attack against biblical creationism.
 
I'm thankful for those who are still faithfully resisting the trend - organizations
like Answers in Genesis, the Creation Research Society, and the Institute for
Creation Research. These organizations and others like them involve many expert
scientists who challenge the presuppositions of evolutionists on technical and
scientific grounds. They clearly demonstrate that scientific proficiency is not
incompatible with faith in the literal truth of Scripture - and that the battle for the
beginning is ultimately a battle between two mutually exclusive faiths - faith in
Scripture versus faith in anti-theistic hypotheses [anti-God position]. It is not
really a battle between science and the Bible."
 
This is a good article; reread it if you didn't understand the position of the author.
 
As Christian, we must agree with the author. We believe that the Bible relays to
us truth: truth about God, creation, man, the fall, and sin. This belief is basic to
all genuine Christianity. It is utterly incompatible with the theories of all
naturalists.
 
"To many, having been indoctrinated in schools where the line between hypothesis
and fact is systematically and deliberately being blurred, that may sound naive and
unsophisticated but it is nonetheless a fact."
 
There is no ground of knowledge equal to or superior to Scripture. There is no
valid reason whatsoever to doubt or distrust the biblical record of God, creation,
man, the fall, or sin. And there is no room to adjust the biblical accounts of these
important doctrines to try and make them fit the ever changing fads of
evolutionary theory.
 
To understand the first three chapters of Genesis is important to a proper Christian
world-view. If you cannot trust Genesis 1-3, why should you trust anything else in
Scripture? "Without understanding our origin, we have no way to understand
anything about our spiritual existence."
 
But, you can trust Genesis 1-3. Furthermore, you can trust the Bible!

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.                                                                                                          John 10:7-11
