9. The Bible Must Be Respected and Obeyed

The Bible is no ordinary book!  The Bible is the inspired Word of the Almighty God of heaven, in which He reveals to us His will for our lives today!  No, that’s not an ordinary book!  That’s an extraordinary book!  Thus, our response cannot be merely ordinary or superficial.  What expectations does God have of us when it comes to His Word?…

It may seem strange to some people that the church is even included in a study like this—some may think such is out of place.  However, when we come to understand what the Scripture teaches about the church, we see how empty and incomplete such a study would be without investigating the church that we read about in the Bible.
