Exposing Cadets to the Gospel, and Mobilizing them to be On Mission as Soldiers of Christ. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator.
What We Believe (Statement of Faith)
The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God’s infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks. We accept th
ose areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders the ministry to which God has called us.
-There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
-Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
-He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
-He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
-He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
-Man was originally created in the image of God. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
-Man’s nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
-The salvation of man is wholly a work of God’s free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes
His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.
-It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
-The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer’s life by faith.
-Every believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
-Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
-God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
-At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
-At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
-Jesus Christ will come again to the earth – personally, visibly and bodily – to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
-The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.

"When I say “lust” I mean the realm of thought, imagination, and desire that leads to s*xual misconduct. So here is one set of strategies in the war against wrong desires. I put it in the form of an acronym, A N T H E M."

"Vineyard tending is a long, patient process of waiting and watching in which one failure doesn’t bring the whole endeavor to nothing. "
Waiting to Awaken Love
We live in a s*x-saturated culture where our eyes and minds are bombarded on all sides by the message that your s*xuality is simply another appetite to be satisfied, like hunger and thirst. In such a context, it is easy to imagine that you are the only one waiting for s*x until you are married.

"It’s so easy to assume we already know everything we can do to help ourselves. However, there are usually methods we’ve never heard of that could really help us live fuller lives."

"One thing we notice is that the magnitude of the unpleasant emotion does not have to be great when our tolerance is low in order to get us to make profoundly unwise choices."
"Right or wrong, our culture teaches us about s*x. The media conducts s*x education all the time."
What Does TV Say About S*x?
S*x education class is in session constantly through our media, and much of it is deceptive. We have to ask how much we’re listening.

“Ma********on produces real and legitimate guilt and stands in the way of obedience.”
Missions and Ma********on
Ma********on may seem like a small thing, but it has the power to prevent someone from following God’s call to the mission field.

"What is the real problem? Is God deaf to my prayers? Am I not a Christian? Is God just tormenting me for my s*xual impurity? Will I ever be able to stop watching p**n? Because based on my past it seems impossible."
"One thing that I say to people in this area is that we need to recognize that we are living in a p**nographic culture. The reason I say that is because part of dealing with the root of p**nography is acknowledging the fact that we have been desensitized to it."
How to Fight Addiction in a P**nographic Culture
In five minutes, Voddie Baucham exposes the p**nographic nature of our culture and provides men and women with a key tool necessary to fight addiction.
