MINISTRY PRINCIPLES
"I am the way and the truth and the life." John 14:6
1. WORLD VIEW & TRUTH: Biblical Christianity is the only world view which provides a consistent explanation of all the facts of reality with regard to origins, theology, philosophy, ethics, economics, or anything else. This world view is relevant to all of life because it is based on truth. It is the only world view based on truth, a truth which is grounded in Divine Revelation.
2. BIBLICAL CREATION APOLOGETICS & TRUTH:The purpose and methodology of Biblical Creation Apologetics is to attempt to explain reality using the bases of God's Special Revelation (The Bible) and God's General Revelation (His Creation). The proper investigation of God's revelations is the true science which results in a defense of the Christian faith as presented in God's Word as well as the clearest possible understanding of the true history of the universe as revealed to mankind by God who has always been there. Methodological Naturalism is a false science which rejects God's Special Revelation, often misinterprets God's General Revelation and provides an incorrect history of the universe.
GENESIS CHAPTERS 1-11 & TRUTH:A careful and thorough examination of the true history of the universe indicates that an acceptance of the plain reading of Genesis chapters 1-11 is foundational to the Gospel message of the Bible and to Christianity itself, and cannot be deleted or compromised if the total God revealed truth is to be known and understood.
ORIGINS & TRUTH:There are only two possible explanations for the origin of all things. Either the universe was created from nothing by the will of God in a supernatural way as described in the Bible, or it was self created from nothing according to the constantly changing theories of men. Either life was created by God, each type according to its kind as explained in the Bible, or it has evolved by chance over millions of years from an original state of nothingness.
FAITH & TRUTH:Since the origin of all things occurred in the past and the origin mechanisms cannot be duplicated by men in the laboratory, truth regarding origins must be accepted on faith. One must choose between the real faith based on the Word provided to man by the infallible omnipotent and omniscient Creator God who was there at the beginning, and a blind faith based on naturalistic, God rejecting and constantly changing, evolutionary theories of fallible men.
