Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
Thanks to all of you who diligently follow me here and on other social media platforms. Today I want to borrow this simplified version of the Christian statement of faith from the C.S. Lewis legacy website and ask you not just to like, but share or copy and paste, if this is also what you believe. I love hearts and likes and all the various emoticons but this is way more important.
The church and Christians are being attacked at every level, overtly and through subtle exclusions as new rules, laws, and plans of action are presented. Let's not be silent. Today I am calling like Moses, "Who is on the Lord's side?" If you are, then let's send this message. We believe God.
"We accept the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the written Word of God. We believe in the divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness and final authority of the Bible in all matters of faith and practice.
We celebrate:
The triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The incarnate Son: Jesus Christ, fully God, fully man.
The goodness and beauty of the world, created and sustained by the Word
of God’s power.
Salvation by grace received through faith in Jesus Christ, who alone,
through His life, death and bodily resurrection, redeems us from sin and
reconciles us unto God.
The essential unity of all believers, who together form one Church,
diverse in form and expression, of which Christ is the Head.
The continuing ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who empowers the worship,
service and witness of God’s’s people in all their activities.
The ultimate deliverance of the children of God and of all nature from
the destructive consequences of the Fall."
And I'll add, this means, we believe in the second coming of Christ ; that he'll come with eternal life for those who follow him and eternal separation for those who do not. And so, we share his message of salvation.
God bless you! Maranatha!!
