About
Bruised Reed Ministries
Bruised Reed Ministries not directly affiliated with any church or denomination. We are a Christian organization who promotes the messages of the Christian faith.
Our core beliefs are:
We believe in one infinite, intelligent God, the Creator and Owner of heaven and earth, who existed before and will exist after they pass away. He is not a manifestation of a force or element of nature, but the Creator of all forces and elements, over which He has complete control. He is perfect, possesses all wisdom, is loving beyond human comprehension, and created the heavens, earth, and mankind out of love and generosity. We affectionately refer to Him as God the Father.
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, sent into the world to reconcile mankind to God. His arrival was prophesied in the Old Testament of the Bible. He is “the Lamb who was slain before the foundations of the world.” We believe he is God in flesh, has the exact nature of the Father, and you can know God the Father’s nature and character by observing the behavior and teachings of Jesus Christ.
We believe Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, crucified as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, and that God punished Jesus with the punishment that all of humanity deserves for our sins.
We believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, that he is at the Father’s right hand interceding for us, that all power in Heaven and Earth was given to him, and that one day He will establish a kingdom on Earth that He will rule.
We believe that God so loved the world that He sent His Son, Jesus, to voluntarily die for the sins of the world. Whoever believes in the Son and His teachings will not perish but have everlasting life. Upon this heartfelt confession of belief, a person is born again by the power of the Holy Spirit and justified by God. This means that his past and future sins are not counted against him by God and that the goodness of God will lead him to change his thinking and ultimately behavior, gradually making him more like God in thinking and behavior. Those who are born again also receive an opportunity for abundant life on earth now when they follow the teachings and principles of Jesus Christ.
We believe that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to Earth to be with us as a Comforter and Guide while He is not physically present.
We believe that those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior become part of The Church, which includes all believers in Christ regardless of location, race, denomination, or the time of history in which they lived.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God, written and curated by men and women under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the unity of The Church is preserved by a common commitment to the foundational truths of Christianity, while allowing for disagreement on secondary theological questions, religious rituals, and political viewpoints. We acknowledge that certain core doctrines are fundamental to Christianity. However, one should approach with caution religious groups that require particular interpretations of non-foundational scriptures, adherence to specific political views, or specific religious rituals as tests of authentic faith.
