Scripture& Discernment Luke Timothy Johnson begins his study of the practical issue of how decisions are made in the church by admitting to a bias: that there ought to be a connection between what the church claims to be, apostolic church and how it does things. Because the church claims to be a community of faith, it does not reach decisions simply on the basis of good management policy, or the analysis of market trends, or efficiency, or even ideological consistency, but in response to God`s activity in the world that presses upon us apostolic church and urges us to decision. Faced with how to respond to God`s leading, the church decides what to do on the basis of two realities: Scripture apostolic church and discernment. Because it calls the church into being Scripture is the fundamental authority in the church`s life. Yet it is not enough for a congregation simply to turn to the Bible when a decision must be reached, for Scripture does not directly address all issues which face the church today, apostolic church and those it does often reflect greatly differing historical apostolic church and social contexts than our own.

Johnson argues that this very pattern of decision making can be found in Scripture itself, notably in one of the central events of the book of Acts. Beginning with the conversion of Cornelius apostolic church and culminating in the Apostolic Council of Acts 15, we see how a string of smaller narratives combine to tell the story of God`s movement within their midst, apostolic church and how thisnarrative became the basis for the reinterpretation of Scripture apostolic church and the inclusion of Gentiles into the fellowship of the church. Looking at a number of thorny issues facing the contemporary church, Johnson demonstrates how the interaction of Scripture apostolic church and discernment can apostolic church and must become the
