How Extensive Is The Network For LTIA?

LTIA is developing a world wide network of academic, spiritual, and societal leaders working together through the ministry of their churches to implement a Biblical  world view exhibiting a loving devotion to God, a loving heart for people, a striving for personal excellence in all endeavors, and an influence to defend traditional values morally, intellectually, and socially.

What Are The Guiding Principles For LTIA Conferences?

The success and greatness of the American culture can be attributed to its founding principles, namely, Biblical principles. American founders quoted the Bible more often than any other source for designing and implementing government and social success. We believe that Biblical world view principles afford the greatest success and realization of individual pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

We believe that implementation of the Biblical world view begins with personal love for God, which results in a love for others, which in turn leads to social stability and well being.

We believe the Biblical world view is that God desires everyone to be saved and to serve Him through His churches as He directs. Therefore, everyone is expected to serve God in whatever one does and where ever one is found. However, because of personal choice, there is a great rebellion against God and a widespread rejection of His values. This rebellion will continue to grow until God Himself puts it down.

What Is The LTIA View Of Government?

It is a Christian duty to stand up for moral values, for the innocent and helpless, and to resist evil. Government is designed by God for social order. It is not the means whereby the kingdom of God and His great commission are implemented.

However, when opportunity arises, such as protection to freedom of speech in America and government involvement, it is prudent for Christians to engage in social dialogue and to participate in the leadership roles of society. Regardless of the career or social responsibilities whether as missionaries, as housewives, as educators, as journalists, as politicians, or as businessmen; it is the duty of every Christian to implement a Biblical world view. Faithful application of the Biblical world view will necessarily change the world and shape the future.

LTIA  is changing the world and shaping the future with relevant Christian leadership applying a fully integrated Biblical world view.
