Affirmation of Faith in the benefits of God’s Word, from Psalm 19:7-11  [Congregation will read the text in bold.]

The law of the Lord is perfect

reviving the soul

the testimony of the Lord is sure

making wise the simple

the precepts of the Lord are right

rejoicing the heart

the commandment of the Lord is pure

enlightening the eyes

the fear of the Lord is clean

enduring forever

the rules of the Lord are true

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
