How To Study The Bible

| “Relationship, Not Rules.”
That has become our church’s motto.
Many interpret God’s Word as being a rule book, “Just follow the rules and then,
you’ll be a ’good’ Christian.”
It’s a pretty “safe” system, in that, you can track your
performance and those of others quite easily. Everything is simple and
easy to understand (at least on the surface). Judgments can
be
made swiftly and easily. OOOOOPS!!! We have just discovered the fatal
flaw. “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1) It is a WRONG
system that is 100% guaranteed to bring the WRONG results. The overall theme of the Bible can be summed up in the two greatest commandments given by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40. Summed up, He said that we are to truly love God, and to truly love others. If we keep those two commandments, we will be living out the Christian life as God intended, doing so with God‘s heart and attitude, not with some man-made adaptations of His desires for us. True love rules out condemning judgments. We then live in a place where we fully realize that flawed human beings have no ability or authority to judge other flawed human beings. We simply must leave all that up to God. As the pastors of Covenant Life Worship Center, our aim is to treat everyone with love and respect, excluding or judging no one. We endeavor by word and example to unite God and His people into a more intimate relationship than perhaps they’ve ever had before. We open our doors to all, as we rebuild on a more solid foundation: the truth that God loves and includes all. Pastors Phil & Marilyn Parmelee |
