The Mission of Mentoring Sacred Arts
Prayerfully and practically pursue a Great Awakening of Abiding Disciples. Engage Jesus’ commission (Mt. 28) in practical and innovative ways: matching and attaching apprentices to Jesus-style mentoring friendships and inviting them to engage the Sacred Arts (SHAWL) Series.
"Wherever you go, and in whatever you do, MAKE DISCIPLES! As you do this, I will be WITH YOU!"
(Matthew 28:19-20)
Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only, infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God. We believe in the One True God, the Sovereign, eternal Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God is eternally existent in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe God created all people in His image. Adam and Eve, the first human beings, chose to rebel against God and go their own way. As a result, all humans became separated from God; the image of God in them was distorted; they became subject to the power of the devil; and the sinful nature was passed on to all their progeny. Because of original sin, unregenerate human beings are incapable of pleasing or commending themselves to God. The only remedy for mankind's pitiful predicament is redemption through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that when a person exercises saving faith in Christ he passes, immediately, out of spiritual death into spiritual life and from the old creation into the new, a new nature and a new heart imparted; being justified freely by grace, he/she is accepted before the Father as Christ, His Son, is accepted and loved as Christ is loved, having his place and portion linked to Christ and one with Christ—forever. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly, Christ-like life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—they who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they who are lost unto the resurrection of eternal separation from God. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
It should also be said… If you want to know what a person (or an organization) really believes, their creeds may not tell you nearly as much as how they daily live, how they pray, how they seek to walk in Abiding Friendship with Jesus, how they demonstrate a lifestyle of being formed into the likeness of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, and the level of their obedience to Jesus’ commission to make-disciples.
