Core Beliefs
My core beliefs will determine my course of action. To say it in reverse, my actions will demonstrate my core beliefs. One of my core beliefs is the power of God’s Word. For that reason, I promote the usage of God’s Word in the evangelism of youth and children.
If I only approach ministry to people based on their felt needs, I will never minister to their real needs. I believe God’s Word will not only minister to their felt needs, it will uncover needs they did not know they had.
How many people do you know that say, their felt need is sin in their lives? We must face the fact that there are a lot of people sinning and having fun doing it. Yet I so believe in the power of God’s Word, that the Word will not only uncover the sin in their lives, but will also give them power to overcome sin as they seek forgiveness from Christ.
No wonder the Apostle Paul said that he was not ashamed of the gospel (the Word) for it was the power of God unto salvation.
