Talking Points:
- We hold a biblical worldview, elevating God’s truth above our own opinions or the trends of our culture. We recognize that this will be more radical with each new generation. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- We submit to the Bible as the authoritative voice in our everyday lives. We recognize that true believers must come to God on his terms, not their own. 2 Peter 1:20-21
- We commit to a personal pursuit of God through His Word, not just an intellectual pursuit. We recognize that even the Bible can become an idol if not handled correctly. John 5:39-40
