The
logo we have chosen to represent our vision and ministry is filled with meaning.
The three rings represent three witnesses to truth:
1. The Holy Spirit of Truth (John 14:17, 16:13)
2. The Word of Truth (John 17:17)
3. The People of Truth, God's Church (1 Timothy 3:15)
The rings are intertwined because God has given us all three
witnesses as integral parts to receive His revelation to us. Holy Spirit
speaks to us and guides us through the Word of God and the people of God.
The Word of God points to the Holy Spirit and tells us how to relate to the
people of God in covenant relationships. As we live in these covenant
relationships in the local church, God will use people to teach us about His
Spirit and His word.
Historically, God's people have become unbalanced when one
witness to truth is overemphasized at the expense of another, or de-emphasized.
Understanding Holy Spirit without the balance of the Word of God can lead to
fanaticism. Emphasizing the Word of God without the Holy Spirit can lead
to legalism. People who try to live by God's Spirit and His word without
ever making covenant in local church relationships where there is privilege,
responsibility, and accountability can never receive all that God has for their
lives because they do not receive the ones that God sends into their lives (John
6:29, Matthew 10:41).
In summary, to live in communion with Holy Spirit, His
word, and His people brings faith to live victoriously and overcome in every
circumstance of life (Revelation 3:21). A past fulfillment view of
eschatology combined with the empowering presence of God's Holy Spirit, living
under the authority of His word, in covenant relationships with His people in
the local church, causes us to have a positive outlook towards God, ourselves,
and the future. This is why we say THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
