PURPOSES (Bylaws, Article 4) 

The purposes for which the Corporation is formed are: 

No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual and no part of the activities or funds shall be used to carry on political propaganda or attempt to influence legislation. The Corporation will not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office.

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES (Bylaws, Article 1) 

Pursuant to the purposes outlined in the Articles of Incorporation, it shall be the basic objective of Heralds of Hope, Inc., in all its undertakings to bear witness to the truth, as set forth in the Bible, God’s Holy Word, and all its policies and programs shall be governed by this basic objective. 

While recognizing the exclusive quality of truth with respect to error, and keeping clearly in view the need for positive proclamation of truth, even when this involves controversial matters, it shall be the purpose of HERALDS OF HOPE, INC., to heal rather than unnecessarily to wound, to unite God’s people on the foundation of God’s Word rather than to divide. Hope, springing from unswerving confidence that God’s truth proclaimed in love shall triumph, both in individual experience and in the whole of human history, shall be a dominant note in all the witness of the programs undertaken. 

HERALDS OF HOPE, INC., shall be as conservative in its emphases as the Rock, Christ Jesus, upon Whom His church is built, and as liberal (liberating from shackles of bondage) as the divinely revealed Truth, which to know is to be free indeed. 

Uncompromising integrity and fervent love for the brethren, expressed through sincere respect for those who may differ, shall be maintained in the witness of Heralds of Hope, Inc., and of those who carry forward its programs. In this it shall always be recognized that love and respect for those who may differ sincerely does not preclude vigorous challenge to viewpoints and assumptions represented, nor vigorous presentation of witness deemed to be in accord with revealed truth.

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH 

1. We believe: that there is only One True Holy God  
who is eternal, all-wise, all-powerful,
everywhere present, unchanging, 
existing as Father, Son, and Spirit. 

2. We believe: that the Bible is the Self-revelation of God to mankind for this age;  
that it is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit;  
that it is inerrant in its original writings,  authentic in its records,  
authoritative in its decrees, 
universal, timeless in its message,  
the standard by which all shall be judged.

3. We believe: that the Triune God is the Creator of all things, visible and invisible;  
that the Genesis account of creation is true;  
that man through disobedience fell from his position of innocence;  
that all people need the mercy of God, offered in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  

4. We believe: that Jesus Christ, the Son of God,  
by a miracle was born of  
the Virgin Mary as her firstborn; 
that by this He is fully God and fully man;  
that He will perfect the complete reconciliation of all believers;  
effect the universal restoration of all things  
by His sinless earthly life, 
His atoning death on the cross by the shedding of His blood, 
His literal bodily resurrection from the dead,  
His confirming ascension to the right hand of God  
His present-day ministry of intercession for believers,  His personal return to earth.  

5. We believe: that the Holy Spirit was sent and came upon the disciples at Pentecost; 
that all who repent of their sin through faith in Jesus Christ receive the Holy Spirit;  
that He indwells, cleanses, leads,  
and enables believers to live and witness to the glory of God.  

6. We believe: that the church is composed of all and only those who truly repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord;  
that by the Holy Spirit, in harmony with the Holy Scriptures, true believers live a holy life;  that all such make up the body and bride of Christ.  

7. We believe: that the Christian Life is total commitment to the Lordship of Christ;  
that every Christian is entrusted by the Lord with the stewardship of the Gospel;  
that Christians will conduct their affairs consistent with this commitment and entrustment so that all they are and have contributes to the spread of the Gospel. 

8. We believe: that there is a personal Devil who is the arch-enemy of God, and all good;  
that he is seeking to deceive all people and take them to eternal ruin;  
that during the time immediately before the rapture of the true church  
he will lead many into apostasy and unbelief;  
that conditions in the church and in the world indicate that we now live in such times;  
that during the great tribulation he will raise up the Antichrist  
through whom he will effect a world-wide rebellion against God  
which will be put down by the personal, bodily return of Christ. 

9. We believe: that there will be a bodily return of Jesus Christ for His bride, the Church, at which time all believers who have died will be resurrected and all living believers will be changed;  
that after the destruction of the apostate church and the world-wide rebellion  
led by the Antichrist,  
and the binding of Satan, 
Jesus Christ will reign  
as King of kings and Lord of lords until He has put down all authority;  
that at the end of His reign He will deliver the kingdom over to God the Father. 

10. We believe: that there will be the Final Judgment in which God will condemn the devil to the lake of fire along with all who have not believed in Jesus Christ, where they will suffer eternal punishment;  
that all believers, by the grace of God will enjoy forever the presence of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with all the angels in the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwells righteousness.

We Have A Word From God! 

Carl F. H. Henry, our senior theologian, statesman repeatedly warned us that modern man denies the existence of absolute truth. Liberals delight in that denial for if there is no “true-truth” then each one may pursue his or her own interpretation of truth without accountability to anyone else. 

This concept is almost as old as the human race. The serpent in the Garden raised the question with mother Eve, “Did God Say?” He maligned God’s word by casting up doubt in Eve’s mind. Such doubt has flourished all through the centuries. Prophets, priests, preachers and professors have questioned the truth of God’s word again and again until the people in the pews and the students in the classrooms are left, as it were, hiding in the garden, afraid to face the God who speaks only truth. 

Our generation needs to reaffirm an unqualified commitment to the Holy Bible as the Word from God. Indeed, if we have no true word from God, then we are in a terribly oppressive silence. But we have the word from God in the sixty-six books of our Holy Bible! 

This Statement of Faith is the basis on which Heralds of Hope, Inc. has been ministering from the beginning in 1967. Everyone serving with Heralds of Hope, Inc. subscribes to the Statement of Faith. Board members renew their commitment at every annual meeting. We send it forth so all will know the foundation on which we serve as we reach out to the world with messages of HOPE AND TRUTH.
