How we read Scripture
- We use the Concordant Version as our default Bible text, because it translates each Greek and Hebrew word as consistently as possible.
- Our focus is the gospel of grace that God entrusted to the apostle Paul for the present time.
- We let Scripture explain Scripture and stay as close to the text as we can.
