I listen to Bridgetown Church sermons most weeks. Though the passage is often small (👎) they tend to have it read twice - once in English and once in another language from within the congregation- the reasoning behind that being Pentecost when each heard the disciples in their own language. I do love this because it means that they recognise English isn’t the only language the Bible is in.
Equally, I remember someone saying of higher churches that if you knew nothing of church culture, you would assume the church parading the Bible and treating it with reverence had a higher regard for the contents than those who got up, read it and sat back down.
So, how do we take these examples of taking the Bible seriously and learn from them? What actions do we need to do in order to change our thinking?
