A Little About Us
In case you'd like to know a little about us....
CreativeBibleStudy.com is owned and operated by a single family corporation - SonLife, Inc.
SonLife, Inc. began in 1985 as a ministry of Christian Bookstores. After 15 years in Christian Retailing, our ministry changed as Jeff's responsibilities as a full-time pastor increased, and I (Susan) took the position of a school librarian. It was time for SonLife to sell both bookstores. Jeff's brother now owns one, and it is still active in Hammond, LA.
SonLife became a part of our family a few months after we married twenty-two years ago. We sat down one day and asked ourselves, "if we could do anything in the world what would it be?" Both of us shared a desire to own a Christian bookstore, and from that God opened every door to make it happen. People thought we were crazy because we were in South Louisiana and the bottom had just fallen out of the oil industry boom. God knew best though!
We also are parents of four wonderful children between the ages of thirteen and twenty. SonLife was instrumental in making it possible for me to stay at home with our kids while they were little and work my part of the business (keeping the books & ordering)from home. What a blessing to be able to do that!
We are presently serving in another wonderful church. Two of our children will be in college this fall with another leaving next year. God has blessed our family in so many ways, but the greatest is that He has saved each one of us individually, and we are all now serving Him.
It is now our desire for SonLife to offer this site as a means to help others locate and access material that will equip them in the study of God's Word as well as teaching it.
Please note that we do preview the websites to which we link, but are unable to peruse them completely. We try to check others' faith statements and make sure they do profess Jesus Christ as God's Son and salvation is found only in Him. It must be your responsiblity to personally dig into God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to be your first and final teacher on all subjects.
Our Faith Statement
God
We believe that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4;Matthew 3:16-17
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
John 1:1-4,14; Luke 1:26-38; Hebrews 1:1-3
Holy Spirit
We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the Comforter and Guide Who lives in every believer.

Bible
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life and faith.

Man
We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation.

We believe that Jesus Christ will literally return to earth.
