Mission
Perissos Resources is committed to cultivating and preserving a spirit of excellence in the lives of as many as we can touch by presenting them with resources to assist them in making responsible choices consistent with biblical principles.
Vision
Perissos Resources endeavors to serve Jacksonville, FL and its surrounding cities in a hands-0n way. Our online presence allows us to reach worldwide. In both ways, we are constantly striving to make available the very best resources, such as:
- A robust catalog of local educational programs;
- Low cost, individual life coaching;
- Privately funded benevolence services;
- Referrals to health, educational, financial, legal and spiritual resources;
- Books and other media carefully selected for their accuracy and integrity;
- Online resources for personal and spiritual development;
While our programs are carefully selected for their consistency with biblical principles, we welcome everyone regardless of their personal faith or absence of faith, believing there are certain universal truths that, when applied, will consistently result in benefit.
We do not engage in proselytizing, rather encourage our clients to explore their options for improving their methods of choice-making (which may include their beliefs and the reasons for those beliefs). Our express purpose is to be engaged daily in helping create a community of a unified, righteous-living people.
It is our belief that when we make free, responsible choices for our body, soul, and spirit, we take on the image and likeness of God as He created us to do. It is our prayer that those who do not yet know their Heavenly Father will discover Him in this process and those who do will grow into an ever-deepening relationship with Him.
Statement of Faith
The Trinity
We believe there is one living and true God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each fully and completely God.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary being fully human and fully God. He lived a sinless life and through His substitutionary death, atoned for our sins. We further believe that, just as Christ came to earth once to bear the sins of the world, so He will return again to gather the elect and to usher in the resurrection of all things – the just to eternal life and the unjust to eternal conscious torment and separation from the love and grace of God.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe all of the Scriptures (the Bible consisting of Old and New Testaments) are divine rather than merely human in origin, are an infallible repository of redemptive revelation and that they serve as the final authoritative source for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness.
Man’s Condition
We believe that man, created in the image of God, rebelled against His Creator and as a result incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God. We also believe that all are sinners and share in common the consequences of sin. We define “sin” as “any thought, word, deed, or state of being that fails to meet God’s standard of holiness and perfection.
Salvation
We believe that eternal life is the free gift of God, available to all and made possible by the redeeming blood of Christ, shed on the cross; and that one can only be saved by true repentance and faith in the finished work of Christ.
The Church
We believe the Church is the living spiritual Body of Christ, of which all believers are members.
