-
That God is one, eternally
existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
That the Bible is inspired by
God and contains all that is needed for true peace-building.
-
That genuine peace between
people is found only through Jesus Christ who is the Saviour
and Lord. Therefore we encourage people in conflict to
believe the gospel and trust in Christ by obeying His
commands given to us in scripture.
-
That Peace-building and
Reconciliation is part of the healing ministry of the
Church. Therefore we encourage Christians to resolve their
conflicts within the Church which is called by God to
restore peace by promoting biblical Justice and
reconciliation.
-
That it is only through
repentance and forgiveness that true reconciliation takes
place.
-
That the Holy Spirit is God.
As the third person in the Godhead, He indwells every
believer upon conversion and enables the believer to live a
holy life, to witness in power, and to work for the Lord
Jesus Christ who is the true Reconciler/Mediator.
-
That man was made in the image
of God and sinless, but by choice fell out of favor into
sin. In God's mercy, salvation comes to every lost and
sinful person freely and simply by faith in Jesus Christ,
and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
-
That destructive conflict
comes from desires that battle within people's hearts.
Therefore we must know the root causes of conflicts before
we try to resolve them. We also counsel parties to find
their fulfillment in Christ, renounce sinful desires and
actions that have contributed to conflict, and seek genuine
reconciliation with God and with others.
-
That God's word is totally
authoritative and completely sufficient for all aspects of
life, and can apply to every conflict a person can
encounter. Therefore we work across the entire spectrum of
conflict and help people resolve them using the word of God.
