Gods Way: Always the Best Way

God's way is always the best way! The Bible is a book of principles and precepts that are spiritual laws. Just as there are physical laws that govern our world (gravity, the laws of thermodynamics etc.), there are also sprititual laws that govern our world as well. If we neglect or transgress those laws, we will pay the consequences. The Bible speaks of laws that govern our homes and families. For instance, the book of Ephesians give one-word commands to each member of the family that just happen to correlate to that persons greatest need. To the husband, the Bible says, "Husbands love your wives." The wife's greatest need is to be loved and cherished by her husband. To the wife the Bible says, "Wives, submit yourselves..." When she submits to her husband, she fulfills his greatest need to be respected as a leader. The home works when it is done God's way. When it is not, there are serious consequences that will be paid. The Bible gives the blueprint for the operation of His local, New Testament church. The church's reason for being is to fulfill the great commission: win souls, baptize them, and teach and disciple them in the Word of God. Many have made the church today more man-centered than Christ centered. In many cases the church is based more on entertaining the world than preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. When we ignore and violate the principles of God's Word, we are building the house on a foundation of sand rather than on the Solid Rock. The storms WILL come, and only those who do it God's way will stand. Someone has said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result! God's way is always the best way.
