God comes to Us! One of the beautiful things we teach and believe is the way in which the Holy Scriptures are read and interpreted. We actually compare the Bible to the Manger of Jesus. Think of it this way. The material to write the Bible was given to us by God, just like the material to build the manger. We begin to assemble the manger in much the same manner as we put together the Bible, both through the gifts of God and the power of the Spirit. With that said, God is perfect, we are not. Therefore we may find flaws and mistakes in that manger, much in the same way we are going to find confusing and seemingly contradictory statements within the Holy Scriptures.

Here’s the fascinating part! In both cases, when one opens and peeks inside the Bible, just like the manger — one sees Jesus — one finds the Divine, or better yet, the Divine finds us!

We teach and believe that the Holy Scriptures are the Living Word of God, capable of changing lives and situations for the better. It cannot and must not become a book of one-liners to prove or disprove general statements. The Bible must always point us in the direction of God’s Love for all people through Christ Jesus. Therefore, we teach that God comes to us through the Word!
