Proclaiming as prophets
We value justice. Christians should stand for what is true and just in the world (1 Timothy 3:15; 2 Timothy 4:2). There is a lot of evil in the world, and we want to see real change. With God’s Word in hand, we call people to be saved from this crooked generation (Acts 2:40, Ezekiel 3:17). We desire to seek justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God in Providence (Micah 6:8).

Key Term
- Paideia: A Greek word that means "the enculturation of future citizens." Paul instructs parents to raise kids in the "instruction (Paideia) of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Parents should raise kids to think and act like Christians in every area of life. This Christian enculturation can take many forms, but it is the goal of Christian parents.
