Order at the table

Confronts cultural assumptions by affirming God’s design for order and reverence, calling believers to honor what is sacred.

Order reflects God’s character

Scripture presents God as intentional and orderly. Order is not restrictive, but life-giving, shaping worship and community in ways that honor God and protect His people.

Challenges

  1. Culture should not determine how we interpret Scripture. Scripture should determine how we live in our culture.
    • Cultural trends shift, but God’s Word remains constant.
    • Scripture provides the lens through which culture is evaluated.
  2. You need to study this topic yourself and follow the Lord to the best of your abilities.
    • Faithful obedience requires personal engagement with Scripture.
    • Convictions are formed through prayer, study and submission to God.

Reminders

  • God is a God of order; order is good for us.
  • We should not take lightly what God considers vital.

Insight

  • God’s design brings clarity and protection, not restriction.
  • Scripture must shape convictions more than cultural pressure.
  • Honoring what God calls sacred strengthens the church.
