Under Authority

During our time at Center Hill, we also attended the Little Country Church that's been there since time out of mind. My grandparents have been on the church board for 20 years. My great-grandmother helped found the church and was their church pianist for years and years.

But I noticed...some oddnesses. Nothing in particular, but just the difference between a church that clearly and faithfully teaches Scripture as the authority for every facet of life and a "good, traditional country church."

I love my home church and the clarity of the teaching there: that the pastor and the elders endeavor to teach Scripture as the authority, not themselves as the authority or some good book as the authority. No: Sola Scriptura for all of us, even the pastors.

What a good reminder that we are all under authority.

...submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:21

Here's that verse in context.
