Because of sin, man is alienated from God and is unable to be reconciled to God and His purposes through his own effort. Only through faith in Christ is man who restored to right relationship with God and empowered to accomplish His purposes. The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and is made alive by the Holy Spirit to instruct, nurture and train. It is the timeless standard of truth, faith and behavior for all cultures and individuals. Fulfillment, joy and abundant life come through obedience to God.
Man is in a spiritual battle.
God has given believers authority over Satan s efforts to thwart God's purposes. Man is accountable to God and responsible to live in harmony with His ordained spheres of family, church and civil government as delineated and authorized in Scripture. God gives to parents the responsibility and authority for training their children in wisdom, virtue and the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.
