Where is that in the Scriptures?

One place we can find a consistency that crosses human culture is through and in God’s Word. How a person may see, understand it in an Asian culture may be quite different than in an African than in a European context.

We will have significant dialogue around the meaning of Scripture at times. Starting and ending at the point of God’s Word is key to our Nexus work and vision. So many are subject to the latest greatest new ministry program thing coming at them/us from the outside of their cultural context promising to revolutionize their ministry work and yet, if we would simply keep our “anchor” in/through God’s Word and a few simple principles He sets out for us, we would find our lives, work different.

One of our “battle cries” both here in the U.S. context and abroad, is when a new tip, trick or tool comes along to ask the question, “Where is That in the Scripture?”

“Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” – Acts 17:11
