Be Rooted in Scripture
The first of the MBUMC Core Values is to “Be Rooted in Scripture”.
Psalm 1:1-2 says “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.“
We are to follow the example set by Jesus during his time on the Earth. We have the story of Jesus at age 12 sitting in the temple courts in Jerusalem listening to the teachers and asking them questions from Luke 2:41-52. Jesus responded to others often quoting scripture showing that it guided his actions. We are not to just to memorize but to understand how it applies to our lives and our interactions with others.
