In this episode we continue our look at how to understand Scripture correctly.
Mark’s Poem/Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus,
Your word is pure and your love is sure.
Speak truth to me that I may see
Your grace so true and what I should do.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Your word is pure and love is sure.
Speak truth in me that all may see
Your grace so clear and your love so near.
Amen
Pastor Mark’s 5 (hopefully) easy-to-remember categories:
1. All Scripture is inspired, inerrant word of God - not just the stuff we like.
2. All of Scripture is centered on Christ.
3. The mission of God (Missio Dei) is evident in every book of the Bible.
4. All of Scripture's passages have one of two possible messages: Law or Gospel.
5. The best way to understand how to apply that Bible to your life today is to understand what it meant to the first writers/hearers.
