"The Bible - We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises." - EFCA Statement of Faith #2

The purpose of Stay Sharp is to provide relevant and incisive training for church leaders to help our churches be theologically healthy.

We've asked Greg Strand to help us understand the challenges to the doctrine of the Bible (Article 2 of the EFCA Statement of Faith) and help us to grow practically in our understanding of the Scriptures.
