Faith & Action: Our Core Beliefs

One Minute Devotion

In Herman Melville's Moby Dick, there's a turbulent scene in which a whaleboat pursues the great white whale. The sailors are laboring fiercely. The cosmic conflict between good and evil is joined. Chaotic sea and demonic sea monster versus a morally outraged man, Captain Ahab. In this boat, though, there is one man who does nothing. He's the harpooner. Quiet, poised, waiting. And then this sentence: "To ensure the greatest efficiency of the dart, the harpooners of this world must start to their feet out of idleness and not out of toil."

"...put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore" (Psalm 131:3).

Lord Jesus, help us to live and minister out of a quiet confidence in Your sufficiency rather than out of a desperate franticness. In Your holy name we pray Amen.

Our Core Beliefs

Our core beliefs at Faith & Action are built upon a timeless witness to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6); attested to in Holy Scripture and lived out through His people. We are a Christian missionary outreach to elected and appointed officials in Washington, DC, throughout our country, and around the world. Our message begins with the two Great Commandments: To Love God and Love Your Neighbor. (Mark 12: 29 – 31)

While Faith and Action may comment on a particular public policy initiative, legislative proposal, or nomination, we do not regularly engage in lobbying and we never endorse candidates for public office. Faith and Action is also non-partisan and treats all people equally, regardless of their political affiliations. We are a non-profit, religious / charitable corporation with an exclusively religious mission. Our programs place a strong emphasis on the public acknowledgement of God, the importance of prayer, evangelization, pastoral care, Christian instruction,and respect for the sanctity and dignity of life, marriage and the family, and religious freedom.
