Statement of faith

What I Believe

The historic Christian faith is the foundation of my life, writing, and ministry.

My books and teachings flow from a deep love for Jesus Christ and confidence in the truth of Scripture. I seek to serve the whole Body of Christ with humility, prayer, and fidelity to the Gospel.

One God

I believe in one God, eternally revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Scriptures

I believe the Bible is inspired by God and carries authority for Christian faith, truth, and life.

Jesus Christ

I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Savior and Lord, and that His death and resurrection are the foundation of our redemption.

Salvation

I believe salvation is God’s gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ—not earned by human effort.

The Holy Spirit

I believe the Holy Spirit is active today, drawing people to Christ, transforming believers, giving gifts, and empowering the Church.

The Church

I believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called to worship, make disciples, love people, and carry the Gospel to the nations.

Christ’s Return

I believe Jesus Christ will return and that His people are called to live with faithfulness, hope, and readiness.

Eternity

I believe in eternal life for those who receive Christ and eternal separation from God for those who reject Him.

Faith that becomes life

Christian belief is not merely a list of doctrines. It is an invitation to know Jesus, walk with the Holy Spirit, grow into spiritual maturity, love people, and participate in God’s mission in the world.
