The Lost Pines church of Christ is a group of Christians from the Bastrop area who meet with the purpose of worshiping God as He has asked us too. We attempt to let the Scriptures lead us as we direct both our worship and our lifes towards our Creator.
While there are many passages that could be used as a theme for our beliefs, we think that Acts 17:11 says a lot about what we think it important. The verse says "now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they recieved the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."
In this simple verse, you will find the foundation for many things which we hold to be true. For example, these people in verse 11 (the Bereans, see v10) were willing to listen to what Paul said, but they also searched the scriptures and verified the truth of the matter.
We believe that the Scriptures can be understood by anyone who is willing to listen, look, and study.
We also believe that this group of Christians in Berea had access to the same scriptures that the Christians in Bastrop, Tx have.
We believe that is important that we listen first to God so that we will know His will and strive to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus and by His authority.
