I will teach my children about religion and anybody else that I come in contact with but I will show how religion do not and cannot bring forth change but only through having a relationship with Jesus Christ. I will continue to fight for religious freedoms and learn how to be a better advocate for it. Moreover, within my ministry of influence I will teach biblical truth about the moral problems and challenges that we face and will attempt to solve them with the moral standard of the Bible and not with humanistic values. I will challenge myself to continue to grow in my relationship with Jesus and my family through prayer and reading of the Bible.

The scriptures of the bible are the profound authority of God, Bill Fay would have the non-believer to read the scriptures and ask if they understand what they have read so if they say no then he will ask them in
