What is the Function of Biblical Theology in the Life of the Local Church
Directs Our Methodology
- Sometimes what we say can be obscured or contradicted by how we say it. When this happens, we have failed to let our message direct us in the selection of a complementary method.
- Our understanding of the Bible's theology, even if that understanding is mistaken, will have important and specific ramifications for the way we go about preaching, evangelizing, discipling, leading in worship, administering church discipline, and a whole host of other practical pursuits.
- Biblical theology therefore functions in the local church to keep our method from contradicting or obscuring our message.
