Welcome to Our Bible Study Blog

Current contibutors to this blog are Mike Wilhelm Tom Windsor, and Johnny Sharp. Our initial goal for this blog is to have a place to record ideas and thoughts that we glean from our own personal Bible studies, sermons we hear, and other Bible lessons. We are leaving this blog in God's hands and we will let Him take it wherever He wants. The following statement is necessary to provide readers with a general framework and premise of the beliefs of contributors to this blog. We approach the Scripture as the authoritative Word of God.

The following "Statement of Faith" is from the National Association of Evangelicals.

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: 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 that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
