You Can Break Free from Addiction or Hurting
Have you all but given up hope that freedom from the cycle of addiction or hurting is possible?
Freedom That Lasts® Statement of Faith
Each Freedom That Lasts® chapter must sign the following statement affirming its alignment with the beliefs of Freedom That Lasts®.
We accept the Bible as our absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection and in the personal, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in a literal heaven and a literal hell and that Satan is a person. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. We believe in the autonomy of the local church.
Furthermore, we believe that because the Scriptures are inspired and authoritative, they are comprehensively sufficient for counseling—that is, the Scriptures include all that God deemed essential—to understand man’s design and purpose; man’s inherent nature; man’s fundamental estrangement from God; the divine plan of reconciliation with God; the divine standard for human thought, emotion, and behavior; the divine remedy for human problems—including life-dominating sins; and divine counsel so that the home, men, and women can flourish—even in adversity, through a maturing relationship with God.
