That‘ll Preach | Don‘t Read the Bible For Yourself (Why Church Matters Series)

Church creeds are there to help us draw on the rich tradition of our faith to make us better readers of Scripture. If we were on a deserted island with just our Bibles we would probably come up with strange interpretations. If you don't believe this just look at Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. We believe that Scripture is the highest authority, but not the only authority. God has given us the church to train us to read the Bible properly. This is the heritage that the Protestant Reformers drew upon for all their teaching. We should do the same.
