- What is the Bible Way... ?
- What will I find at your
worship service... ?
- Why doesn't your church use
musical instruments... ?
- Don't you guys
think you are the only ones going to heaven...?
It's more than a web site, or a slogan we can up with.
The Bible Way is a phrase that describes doing things in God's way - according to what He has
revealed in His word. It is a recognition that God is
all-powerful and that He has told us how to live in a way that pleases
Him. We don't claim to "own" the Bible Way, only to be a group of
people seeking to serve God on His terms.
When you join us for worship, you will find us
praising God and encouraging one another in song and prayer, enjoying a
bible-based message, partaking of the Lord's supper, and giving of our
means. We do not solicit contributions from our visitors. We
hope you will enjoy the service, but more importantly that God will be
pleased with what we do. Click here for detailed information about
the Bible Way for worship.
There are a lot of reasons why a church might not have
or use musical instruments in their worship service. Our reason is
simple - we don't find it authorized in the New Testament. When
referring to the worship, the New Testament provides two very similar verses - Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16. Both of
these verses mention using "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" in
worship. Both also mention singing. No verse in the new
testament indicates the use of musical instruments in the worship, so we
don't. Click here for more information on the
authority of the scriptures.
No. In fact the Bible teaches that Jesus is the
author of eternal salvation for all who obey Him (Hebrews 5:8-9).
We can only look into the Bible, be obedient to the direction God has
provided in it, and rely upon the love and grace of God and the sacrifice of
Jesus Christ to be saved. It is certainly true that we believe the
Bible plainly teaches what one must do to go to heaven, and we would be
happy to discuss those teachings with anyone anytime.
