Being faithful to the faith

Bishop Davis
Other columns by Bishop Davis
Many challenges stand before us in the years to come, none more important than for us to teach and preach with theological clarity.

We must support and proclaim the classical, orthodox doctrines of our faith -- the faith that St. Jude said "was once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3).

In the midst of a culture of disbelief and bizarre beliefs, the United Methodist Church must not be timid.

Yes, we must be loving, compassionate, and respectful of all persons, but we must also reemphasize the great verities our faith, which have sustained the saints down through the ages.

It is this apostolic faith which will empower, shape, and guide us in the future. So let us hold on to God's vision, and let us also hold on to one another, as we look to the future with hope, optimism, and excitement.

God bless you all.
