OUR TENETS OF FAITH THESE WE BELIEVE (a.k.a. Our Tenets of Faith) Our belief is based on core biblical truths we call the 22 tenets of faith , as drafted by Foursquare founder Aimee Semple McPherson. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14). THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12). THE PLAN OF SALVATION We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

The man of God stood in prayer for 21 days and the Prince of Persia (a...
OUR DAILY BREAD April 8, Thursday Love Reins Us In Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 10–12 Luke 9:37–62 It is better not to . . . do anything . . . that will cause your brother or sister to fall. Romans 14:21 Today's Scripture & Insight: Romans 14:1–13 Most young Samoan boys receive a tattoo signaling their responsibility to their people and their chief. Naturally, then, the marks cover the arms of the Samoan men’s rugby team members. Traveling to Japan where tattoos can carry negative connotations, the teammates realized their symbols presented a problem for their hosts. In a generous act of friendship, the Samoans wore skin-colored sleeves covering the designs. “We’re respectful and mindful to . . . the Japanese way,” the team captain explained. “We’ll be making sure that what we’re showing will be okay.” In an age emphasizing individual expression, it’s remarkable to encounter self-limitation—a concept Paul wrote about in the book of Romans. He told us that love sometimes re...
