Seoul Declaration Reaffirms Biblical Truth
Faith Facts
- The Seoul Declaration, introduced at the World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly in South Korea, upholds the authority of Scripture and provides guidance on pluralism and biblical sexuality.
- Drafted by Korean and international theologians, it calls the global Church to unity, faithfulness, and a return to foundational biblical doctrines amid worldwide challenges.
- The declaration affirms marriage as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman and calls Christians to both uphold biblical truth and extend Christ’s love to all people.
The Seoul Declaration serves as a timely reminder for believers to anchor their lives and convictions in the unchanging Word of God, especially in times marked by division and moral confusion.
It highlights the important legacy of the Korean church and urges Christians globally to remain steadfast, showing both grace and steadfastness in their witness.
“Scripture is the inerrant Word of God; salvation is possible only through Jesus Christ; the Holy Spirit is actively at work even today; and the evangelization of souls through the proclamation of the gospel, together with discipling believers for the church, is emphasized as our most important and primary mission.”
By speaking clearly on biblical sexuality, human dignity, and freedom, the declaration challenges today’s Church to stand strong and compassionate amid shifting cultural tides.
“We proclaim this truth not with condemnation, but in love—offering the hope, healing, and freedom that is found in Christ alone.”
Believers are called to pursue justice, defend the persecuted, and work toward reconciliation and liberty, especially for those in divided regions like Korea.
Stand proudly in biblical faith, advance freedom for all, and shine the light of Christ through steadfast action and prayerful unity.

- Americans United for Life ranked Arkansas as the most pro-life state for the sixth year.
- The Life List evaluates laws on abortion, assisted suicide, and conscience protections.
- The state supports mothers, foster care, and life-affirming policies.
Arkansas has once again been recognized as the leading state for upholding biblical values that protect life from the womb to natural death. The annual ranking honors Arkansas for its commitment to defending the unborn, supporting women, and strengthening families.
“Pro-life is whole life, and I’m proud that for the past six years, Arkansas has ranked number one in the nation — not just in protecting the unborn, but in preserving life from conception to natural conclusion,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The state stands out for its nearly total protection of unborn children, care for vulnerable families, and efforts to enhance adoption and maternal health programs. Lawmakers have prioritized the dignity and worth of every person, reflecting deeply held Christian convictions about the sanctity of life.
“Being pro-life is about much more than opposing abortion,” said Jerry Cox, president of Arkansas Family Council. “We are focused on helping women and families with unexpected pregnancies, and we are making sure our laws respect and protect innocent human life at every stage from conception until natural death.”
Defending the value of every person remains a vital mission. Let us stand firm in prayer and action to ensure that faith, life, and family values continue to thrive across America.
Faith Facts
- Priesthood is a calling grounded in Scripture, seen as both joy and responsibility.
- No priest or church leader can fulfill every expectation—only Christ can truly carry all burdens.
- Spiritual leaders need both support and understanding from their communities.
Serving as a parish priest is a God-given vocation, full of both blessings and challenges. The role is defined by Scripture, especially Hebrews 5:1, highlighting the priest’s call to intercede for others.
The true work of saving and transforming lives belongs to Jesus Christ alone. As 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims, Christ alone mediates between God and mankind.
Priests face practical and pastoral expectations, often feeling pressure to be skilled in every area of church life. The mantle of caring for souls is immense, and the call to serve must be balanced by pointing always to Christ as the ultimate source of hope.
Often, congregations place high demands on their leaders, expecting them to be present everywhere and to excel at everything. These expectations can highlight the humanity of church leaders and the biblical need for mutual understanding within the body of Christ.
Self-reflection reminds us that leaders, though imperfect, strive to point others toward Jesus. Past experiences show how easy it is to judge rather than support, but the Christian call is to grace and encouragement.
Let us come together to pray for our church leaders and uphold them as they serve faithfully, imitating Christ and relying on God’s strength, not human perfection.
