Our Beliefs

At Integrity Publishing, it is our desire to always promote truth according to the Word of God, to the very best of our ability. It is the standard by which we measure the manuscripts we accept for our imprint. As such, we will not edit or publish anything that goes against our statement of faith or our interpretation of the Word of God. 

The Word says, “Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]” (Ephesians 4:29, AMP). Part of Integrity Publishing’s mission is to help authors create content that encourages their readers to grow in their relationship with God. As such, we will not publish or assist in publishing works with profane, degrading, inappropriate, racist, sexually suggestive, unwholesome content or any content that is against Scripture or our Statement of Faith.

Scripture is clear that marriage is between a man and a woman. Mark 10:6 says, “But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female” (AMP). His plan for humanity was to create people to reproduce themselves in a way that would allow generations to walk in a relationship with Him. While we are called to love everyone regardless of life choices, we are not called to promote a standard apart from His. Hebrews 13:1-4 says, “Let love of your fellow believers continue. Do not neglect to extend hospitality to strangers [especially among the family of believers-being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as if you were their fellow prisoner, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body [and subject to physical suffering]. Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous” (AMP). 

Following Christ’s example, we do not stand to condemn those who have made sinful choices, John 8:11b says, “And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more” (AMP). But we will not bring honor or glory to sinful lifestyles by publishing works promoting “Gay Christians” or the homosexual lifestyle. The Word is clear in Romans 1:26-27 that these behaviors are degrading, vile, unnatural, and shameful. Romans 1:28 says, “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive” (AMP). The Word of God states that there are “appropriate penalties” for these behaviors, and Integrity Publishing will not accept manuscripts advocating sinful choices.

Those who have lived in homosexuality can be saved. It is not unpardonable. God loves everyone in the world (John 3:16). But those living in sin (Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned), must repent, give their life to Jesus Christ, and turn from those behaviors. The Word of God says, “He must correct those who are in opposition with courtesy and gentleness in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and be led to the knowledge of the truth [accurately understanding and welcoming it]” (2 Timothy 2:25, AMP).

Integrity Publishing’s official policy is that we love every person and desire them to come to know Jesus as Savior and walk in alignment with God’s Holy Word. Choosing to live a lifestyle contrary to the Word (as a practicing homosexual, living as husband and wife while unmarried, etc) is to live unrepentantly. Minimizing any sin is not a message we will promote or publish at Integrity Publishing. We publish for Christian authors. We do not publish Agnostic, Atheist, Buddhist, Mormon (LDS), Muslim, New Age, Neo-pagan, or Jehovah’s Witnesses doctrine, nor any other works not in this list that are out of line with our Statement of Faith and our interpretation of Scripture. Our mission is to help authors create content that inspires and encourages their readers to grow in their relationship with God and impact their world. This will only happen when we are creating content that is in line with God’s Word.
