Luke 18:8 (NIV)

In this series, I want to draw our attention to several statements of belief that call us to adhere to the foundational truths of our faith, truths that have often come under attack, been forgotten or watered down and weakened through false teaching or lack of basic biblical literacy within the church
Through these statements I want to reaffirm my own commitment to the continuation of my belief in these truths.
1. I Still Believe in the One, Eternal, Self-existent God, creator of the heavens and the earth, all that is seen and unseen; His love of and desire to reveal himself and have relationship with those whom he has created.
2. I Still Believe in the Trinity of the Godhead as being revealed as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
