Word of God
-
The Bible speaks to Christians today, but we aren’t its original audience. Faithful interpretation begins in the ancient world of the text, follows the biblical story to Christ, and only then asks how Scripture addresses the church today.
-
Christian study is not the attempt to master God. It is the grace of being mastered by God’s Word. In a time of loud religious opinions, doctrinal pride, and tribal loyalty, the church needs believers who can listen before they speak. True study begins with humility, passes through prayer, and ends in obedience to Christ.
-
A church may have doctrines, debates, confessions, sermons, and Bible studies, yet still lose the posture of prayer. When theology forgets to pray, it becomes noisy, proud, combative, and self-assured. True Christian thinking begins not in mastery, but in humble dependence before God.
