Affirmation
of Faith
(inspired by Matthew 24:1-14, Mark 13:1-13, Luke 21:5-19)
This
I truly believe.
I
believe in Jesus the Christ.
I
believe in the ever-present Spirit
I
believe in God whose love transforms all things.
Though
false teachers come and delude the gullible,
God’s
truth remains sure.
Though
temples crumble and churches wither,
God’s
gospel remains sure.
Though
earthquakes strike and diseases ravage,
God’s
purpose remains sure.
Though
good people suffer injustice and persecution,
God’s
love remains sure.
Though
saints go to prison or face execution,
God’s
life remains sure.
I
believe in God who treasures and nurtures us,
who yearns
over the fate of each one as if they were all,
and who
turns loss to gain and defeat to victory.
This
I truly believe.
Amen!
