We have completed our discussions on the 2017 Statement of Faith and now move to a more contemporary topic, that of deconstruction. Many today are "deconstructing" their faith. What does this mean and is it Biblical?

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous; that all people will appear before God's judgement seat to receive their due for the things done while in the body; that those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will enter into eternal life, but the unrighteous into eternal condemnation; and that according to God's promise we look forward to a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells, when we will forever be with the Lord, and He with us: Come Lord Jesus, come! Amen
