Basic #1: God

Mennonites believe..."that God exists and is pleased with all who draw near by faith. Mennonites believe the one holy and loving God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally. God has created all things visible and invisible, has brought salvation and new life to humanity through Jesus Christ, and continues to sustain the church and all things until the end of the age."

first of all, what a terribly designed cover!!! second of all, a lot of people struggle with the first and foremost point of my faith-God exists. And understanding the trinity is tough as well. Think of a flame: there are 3 elements to the flame-the heat, the light, and the color of the flame. All three coexist in one thing-a flame. You can't have one without the others. That's how you can kinda grasp the trinity. Good analogy? let me know what you think. this is enough to swallow for now. have a great day!
