Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
How should the Ekklesia be structured or governed? How did Jesus treat His followers? Which model of the many churches is correct? Do we follow the examples set in the Old Testament? How do we resolve various conflicting views on biblical topics?
Because our understanding of God the Father and His Son is so important and foundational, we should be careful how we build on this foundation, but especially where we encounter differences of interpretation of belief and practice. The instructions and principles we should consider are found in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 14.
Government is authorized by God for the protection, benefit, and peaceful existence of human society (Romans 13:1- 5; 1Peter 2:13-15). But these purposes and objectives cannot be properly achieved unless they are led and administered by righteous, just, God-fearing people.

Ephesians 1:15-18 NLT
Ever since I heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere,
I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those He called-His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance.
