MACSA Statement of Faith

 

 We believe...

 

  • In the divine inspiration, infallibility and final authority of the Bible as the only Word of God.
  • In one God, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • In the uniqueness of man, by virtue of his special creation in God's image, and his responsibility to understand and master the world to the glory of God.
  • In the unique Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate, virgin-born Son of God.
  • In the representative and substitutionary death of our Lord Jesus Christ as the necessary atonement for our sins.
  • In the power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration and His continuing work in the heart of the believer.
  • In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and that blessed hope, His personal return.
  • In the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and everlasting punishment of the lost.

Big Ideas to Consider:

1. There are basically two kingdoms: a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness. It seems strange to have those who walk in darkness educate children of light. It doesn't fit.

2. If Jesus Christ is Lord, then He is Lord of all. We cannot divide things into secular and sacred.

3. All truth is God's truth, and God's Word sheds light on our path. Only in His light can we see light. Education is not focused on possibilities but on certainties found in God's Word.

4. Deuteronomy 6 tells parents that, in all they do, they should provide a godly education 24/7.

5. Three key institutions that shape a child are the home, the church and the school. Children are served best when all three institutions point them in the same direction.

6. Only an education that has the liberty to address the whole child -- social, intellectual, emotional, physical AND spiritual -- reaches the possibility of excellence.

7. The best preparation for effective service is to be well grounded in one's mind before direct engagement of the culture.
