Bible as the Absolute Authority

[Sons to Glory!]

I think most any time the active participation of the saints can be had, it should be encouraged. Where the Lord has placed me these past 20 years has been a major blessing and a real help to me, in that there is open sharing and free fellowship. For instance, after a brother shared a really good message on Galatians 5 this Sunday (there are six bros who rotate in giving the Sunday message), various ones stood up to share what they had seen from the word. One brother in particular provided a clarifying word and hit on something that was so good, I told him afterward that I could hear a whole message on just that. This happens a lot, that is, saints sharing after the message really becomes a huge help. And rather than some rote thing, it is more like fellowship in the family.
