I have been cleaning in my office at church and at home (at the encouragement of my beloved wife who is much farther along in organization and simplicity that I am) and I have come across some interesting things. Amid the piles of old papers, funny photos, and various stationary products I have found some helpful notes. One of those is a handout of the core values of Liberty Baptist Church.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It states:\u00a0The vision of Liberty Baptist Church is to impact the southwest suburban area with the message of Jesus Christ.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. The glory of God is our supreme objective (1 Cor. 10:31)<\/div>\n
2. The truth of God’s Word is the non-negotiable authority for belief and lifestyle (2 Tim. 3:16-17)<\/div>\n
3. People matter to God and to us (John 3:16; Luke 15)<\/div>\n
4. The gospel has power to generate radical transformation in the life of any sinner (2 Cor. 5:17)<\/div>\n
5. The goal of our ministry is to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19-20; Col. 1:28)<\/div>\n
6. Evangelism and ministry must be conducted in a way that is relevant to people in our sphere of influence (1 Cor. 9:19-23)<\/div>\n
7. We must exercise kindness in our relationship (1 Pet. 3:15)<\/div>\n
8. We should provide a caring community that nurtures new believers (Rom. 12:10-13)<\/div>\n
9. Every believer has a God-given ministry (Eph. 4:11-16)<\/div>\n
10. Liberty Baptist Church must have an evangelistic impact on our community (Luke 5:17-26)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are\u00a0privileged\u00a0to be part of a community of believers which strives to understand and obey God’s Word through a transformational relationship with His Son.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
