Reforming the Church of Tradition

Have you ever wondered why Jesus' interaction with the Pharisees was never positive? This is because the Pharisees nullified the Scriptures with their tradition. How many times has your church nullified the Scriptures with their tradition? Here are a few examples: Is the preaching in your church usually long story telling messages and not a "verse by verse" of historical, grammatical, and literary exposition of Scripture? Are the deacons serving as overseers or business managers? Do people walk down the aisle and declare themselves saved by saying a simple prayer? If you answer yes, then your church is embracing tradition and not God. It is imperative for your church to examine their philosophy of ministry with the Bible to ensure the underlying theme for every rule of faith and practice in the church is centered on Scripture alone. This book will challenge your church to examine their philosophy of ministry with the Scriptures to ensure the absolute sovereignty of God is worshiped and not the golden calf of tradition.
