belief statements

Ok… let me just say I am LOVING our current project at the Institute. It is something I would never just sit down and do but Man, I am loving working on it. We are making

Belief Statements

These are like the “confessions of faith” that the early church fathers made like the Confessions of St. Augustine or the statements produced by the councils throughout church history – statements and confessions that define the things we stake our lives on.

For me this has been a project that is shaping my heart and solidifying WHY I believe what I do… it is a way of proving through the Scriptures, through history, through science, through archeology what I have built my life on as Truth.

So far we have done statements on…

The Trinity

God the Father

God the Son

God the Spirit

The Bible

Man, Sin, and Salvation

Angels, Demons, and Satan

It is so great to really dig into the Word and study and examine and understand what I believe and why. I would encourage you guys to sit down and do this… think about the whys of what you claim.

What are things you would stake you life on?
