Church and Family
The purpose of church and family is the declaration of the glory of God from one generation to the next. To accomplish this, the family needs the church and the church needs the family. Godly families breathe life into the church while holy churches strengthen the family. These articles illustrate many of the practical issues that must be considered for the exaltation of God through faithful church and family life.
Manhood and Womanhood
These articles extol God’s design, define biblical manhood and womanhood and document the bitter war against it. Well functioning churches and families are dependent upon men and women who are governed and defined by God alone. God created man as male and female with different yet complementary roles. Yet, in spite of the beauty of God’s design, there are satanic attacks against it.
The Sufficiency of Scripture
God leads churches and families by His Word. These articles affirm that God has revealed Himself and His will in a completed revelation—the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments—which is fully adequate in both content and clarity for “everything pertaining to life (salvation) and godliness (sanctification)” including the ordering of the church and the family.
Field Reports on Church and Family Reformation
There is reformation in the air as churches and families are becoming more aware the centrality of God in church and family life. The result is repentance and a rising desire to conform to the sufficient patterns of scripture. In this file you will find reports of conferences and gatherings that document a modern reformation of practices.
Articles of Faith
The NCFIC affirms the historic faith of biblical Christianity including the precious doctrines of the sufficiency of Scripture, the priesthood of the believers, the historico-grammatical approach to interpretation, the sovereignty of God, and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We offer the following statements, not only as representations of our faith, but as tools for the careful student of Scripture interested in understanding and communicating his faith with biblical precision.
Practical Theology | Doctrine
The Bible was meant to be studied, understood, and applied in everyday life. In this way, Biblical Doctrine should always lead to right thinking and right living.These articles are designed to help believers think and obey the scriptures in practical areas of life. The doctrines of scripture, sin, salvation and many other areas are covered in this section.
Handling Controversies
As people work together in the body of Christ, there are bound to be controversies. Rather than always attempting to shy away from them, or pretend they don’t exist, we should strive to work through them biblically. These articles apply the word of God to resolving disputes in the church.
