To
inform and motivate the church... instilling in Christians
a sense of urgency about sharing the Gospel of Christ, while
challenging them to a higher level of commitment and discernment.
To reach non-Christians... providing undeniable evidence,
through current events and recent scientific findings, that
the Bible is in fact true and that Jesus Christ is the only
real "Hope for the World".
To expose those activities and organizations which are working
to undermine American freedoms, are threatening traditional
Christian values, or are advancing an occultic New Age/One
World agenda.
To utilize books, tapes, newsletters, radio/television, speaking
engagements, and any other means of communication available
to accomplish these objectives.
Statement of Faith
The
only true God, the Creator of the universe, is transcendent
above His creation. He is not nature, or a part of nature,
nor is His creation or any segment of it a part of Him. The
fullness of the Godhead exists in three persons: the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Spirit. The Word became a man and was
born to a virgin as God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
who is full deity in the nature of His spirit, and fully human
in the nature of his flesh. All truth that is relevant to
our salvation and performance of duty to God is recorded in
the Scriptures (the Bible) which, in the entirety of the original
manuscripts, are without error.
There
exist angels (spirit beings who are messengers of God) who
act at the behest of God as ministers to His people. There
exists a personal devil, Satan, who was a chief angel that
rebelled against God and drew a number of other angels with
him. Satan works primarily in the minds of men through false
religious systems and philosophies to turn them away from
God's truth as revealed in the Scriptures. He also inflicts
physical and emotional pain and suffering upon humanity, and
tests the hearts of men through trials and tribulations.
Satan instigated sin by the first man and woman, Adam and
Eve. Their sin broke covenant with God and resulted in death
for the whole human race. Due to Adam's breaking of his covenant,
man is born separated from God, and cannot redeem himself
by any righteous acts or religious service.
Motivated
by love, the Father offered His Son, Jesus, as the only sacrifice
sufficient to take away man's sins and the penalties those
sins incur. Jesus' death was sufficient to cover all men's
sins, but only those who turn from sin, and trust in His provision
for salvation have eternal life. After His crucifixion and
death, Jesus rose bodily, providing the means by which those
who have faith in Him will also be resurrected bodily to live
in God's eternal Kingdom.
During
this present age Jesus is at the right hand of the Father
in heaven, interceding for all who have faith in Him. The
Holy Spirit is given by Jesus to all who trust in Him. The
Holy Spirit empowers believers to witness for Christ and to
live in obedience to God's Word, while guiding His people
into all truth through the Scriptures.
Jesus
will one day come again to earth to defeat the wicked and
to establish His millennial reign. For one thousand years
He will rule with His saints over the nations of the earth.
After the Millennium, God will renew the heavens and the earth,
and will reign with His people for eternity.
