The Balance of God's Truth

In each camp, the remedy is to be found in the doctrines now monopolized by the other two camps. The entire Bible is for the entire church! What has been lost in this situation is the integrity of the Truth itself. The major doctrines referred to by the terms Reformed, Charismatic and Evangelical, interact with one another in dynamic ways that check the excesses of one another and maintain the balance of Truth.

By keeping the fire in the fireplace we create the best possible setting for effective evangelism — a beautiful backdrop of God's power in the confirmation of God's Truth as an expression of God's Love. Here we find God's people showing their love for God by the way they love one another. Here we experience passionate worship toward God that is both "in spirit and in truth," and discover a confidence in the Gospel that allows us to boldly speak God's truth in love.

All of the Bible doctrines monopolized and distorted by the three major camps of Protestant Christianity are found in every Bible. They have always been there. They comprise an integrated whole. One group's misunderstanding or misapplication of a doctrine cannot justify the rest of us in ignoring that part of God's Word. All of God's truths are intended to be understood, believed and obeyed in relation to one another by the entire Body of Christ. Every church is intended to be "a full deck church" with all of the checks and balances in place. HOFCC is an attempt to be just that. Thus far we find the combination to be both refreshing and effective.
