Statement of Faith
As the Lord continues to grow me through the knowledge of Him, I’ve seen the development of my faith and have realized the increasing necessity to better define one’s beliefs. Growing up, I never understood the purpose for a confession or creed, so I didn’t really put much stock in it. But given today’s postmodern culture and various “hybrids”of so called Christianity in which everyone claims Christ but few are talking about the one from the Bible, it seems even more critical to define one’s beliefs. While it’s true I’ve never held to a particular creed and yes I do believe that there are some who come dangerously close to putting their creed or confession on the level of Scripture it’s become evident, particularly through interaction on this blog, that I must more clearly define what I believe. So, that said, I will be updating this page to include more definitive beliefs. For now, feel free to check out the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith which summarizes many of my beliefs.
Greetings!
Just wanted to thank you for posting my article, Be Careful What You Buy In Christian Bookstores.
Grace & peace,

You’re very welcome Marsha. And thank you for publishing an article to warn people of the dangers out there. Just because the bookstore says it’s Christian doesn’t mean we can accept their content as truth. As the Apostle Paul says, “Test Everything. Hold on to the good” I Thessalonians 5:21

just wanted to mention that in the opening paragraph about the radio broadcast between Pastor Boling and James DeYoung on his book, “Burning Down the Shack”, it is said incorrectly that Kevin DeYoung wrote the book…also a great writer (!!) just not this book’s author!
Thanks!
Thanks for the catch Ann! Yes Kevin DeYoung is likewise a good author that’s what I get for trying to multi-task.
God Bless,
John
