Take Heart Ministries

vision:

to inspire people to believe, love and live God’s word

beliefs:

God is the Ultimate: (check out the Bible, the world, and his saints for more info). But you start with Isaiah 45: “I am God, and there is no other”

Jesus is the One and Only: “I am the Alpha and the Omega — the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come, the Almighty One.” Revelation 1:8

The Holy Spirit brings us power and diversity: :Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all.” 1 corinthians 12:4

We are all tragically flawed: Proof? Life. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

God, in his (great, relentless, powerful, merciful) love desires for us to know Jesus, accept his sacrifice as atonement for our own sin, and live in (restored, healed, intimate, familial, powerful) relationship with Him on heaven and on earth:
“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave as a ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.” 1 Timothy 2:3-6

We know less than we think, so we celebrate the diversity of expression in the worldwide church:
“Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12

We have our lifetimes to discover, learn and grow through God’s loving relationship. We have the awesome power of advancing his kingdom through the influence, talent and resources he abundantly gives (Matthew 5, 6, 10, 25…well, the whole gospel).
