Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this
society shall be to spread the message of Scriptural holiness to the
ends of the earth in accordance with the Great Commission. Jesus said
that His disciples were to be the salt of the earth. They were, through
His grace within them, to be the counterforce to the corruption that is
perpetually at work in our fallen world. The Church is never stronger,
no man is ever happier, and no society ever healthier than they are
holy. God in Christ is now in the business of drawing to Himself a
people whom He, through His Spirit, can renew in His own holy image. The
members of this society, committed to the inerrancy of the Scriptures of
the Old and New Testament and the power of the Spirit of God through
Christ to regenerate and sanctify wholly the human heart, give
themselves to do what they can that all come to know Christ, be
confirmed in Christian discipleship that produces Christian character
and integrity, and enjoy the freedom and power that comes to those who
are fully sanctified by His cleansing Spirit. Whatever is necessary to
fulfill our part of this task we will count as our business. To this we
commit our resources and ourselves.
