Following
is information about To Live Is Christ Ministries. We feel it is
important to make this information available to all who are prayerfully
considering supporting this ministry. Please feel free to contact
us by mail, phone or email with any questions you might have concerning
the following information.
It
is the belief of this ministry that "revival" doesn't
happen because a person comes into town to stir up believers, or
convince others to believe in Christ. Revival takes place when an
individual reads, hears or studies the Word of God and allows those
words to transform their heart; evidenced by a changed lifestyle.
Wayne's
gifts of teaching and exhortation are used powerfully by God in
conferences all over the world to cause revival in individual hearts.
Not only does he share his depth of understanding of the Bible,
even defining words from the original Greek language of the New
Testament, but he explains how each of us can practically and successfully
apply those truths to our lives by sharing his personal experiences.
No longer do Bible stories seem ancient and insignificant, but when
they are colored by examples of life in the 21st Century, with Wayne's
illustrations of sports, humor, triumph and even past failures,
they are forever rooted in our minds and we are inspired to live
our lives surrendered to the One who authored the Book.
This
is the goal of every conference to cause revival in our hearts,
producing godly fruit in our lives, attracting our friends and family
to the Christ who lives in us. Christ is lifted up and He alone
receives the glory.

Doctrinal StatementThere is one God, who has always existed and
will always exist in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
who are each equal in divine perfection and perform distinct, but
harmonious functions in creation, redemption, and divine guidance.
Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully man, came to earth as God
in human flesh, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided
payment for our sins by His death on the cross, was resurrected
bodily by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right
hand of God the Father, and ever lives to mediate for us. The Lord
Jesus Christ will personally visibly, and gloriously return to this
earth.
The Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, displays
the power of God and indwells believers, baptizes them into the
Body of Christ and seals them into the day of redemption.
The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the complete and only
Word of God. It is infallible, fully inspired by God and has supreme
authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
Man was created in the image of God, but because of his own selfishness
deserves not only physical death, but also spiritual death - eternal
separation from God. Each human being is born with a sinful nature
and cannot by his own efforts please God. Salvation comes only by
God's grace and exclusively through faith in Christ, who paid the
penalty for our sins through His blood which was shed and has satisfied
God's wrath against our sins. Salvation comes exclusively through
faith in the person and work of Christ.
