At The Rulership Church (TRC), we believe that the Word of God is our ultimate authority and foundation. It is not just a sacred book to be read on Sundays – it is a daily guide that shapes how we think, live, and interact with the world around us.
In a society where people often rely on personal opinions, cultural trends, or emotions to make decisions, God calls us to build our lives on His unchanging Word.
The Bible isn’t merely a collection of ancient texts; it is the living voice of God speaking directly into our modern circumstances, offering clarity when we face confusion, strength when we encounter weakness, and direction when we stand at life’s crossroads.
Why God’s Word is Relevant in Today’s World
The Bible is not outdated; it is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12). Whether you are a student making career choices, a parent raising children, or a young adult navigating relationships, Scripture offers timeless wisdom that transcends generations and cultures.
Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
In an age of information overload, where we can access millions of opinions with a single click, the Word of God stands as an anchor of truth.
Social media influencers change their narratives, self-help philosophies rise and fall, and popular wisdom shifts with each generation – but God’s Word remains steadfast. The principles that guided believers two thousand years ago are the same principles that will guide us through the complexities of artificial intelligence, social media relationships, workplace dynamics, and family challenges in our contemporary world.
At TRC, our emphasis on the Word equips members with biblical principles that remain relevant in business, family, and leadership. We don’t just teach the Bible as historical literature; we demonstrate how to apply its transformative power to the real-world scenarios you face every single day.
When Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4), He was declaring that spiritual nourishment through Scripture is as essential to our souls as physical food is to our bodies.
Making Daily Choices Through Scripture
Every decision we make – from the seemingly insignificant to the life-altering – can be filtered through the lens of God’s Word. When we develop the habit of consulting Scripture before acting, we tap into divine wisdom that surpasses human understanding.
In your career: God’s Word teaches diligence, integrity, and excellence (Colossians 3:23). The marketplace is filled with shortcuts, compromises, and the temptation to cut corners for advancement. But the Bible calls us to work “as unto the Lord,” meaning that our ultimate boss is God Himself.
This perspective transforms mundane tasks into acts of worship and elevates our professional standards beyond what mere ambition could achieve. When you face ethical dilemmas at work, Scripture provides clear guidance. When you wonder whether to take a promotion that requires moral compromise, the Word speaks.
When you’re tempted to participate in office gossip or dishonest practices, biblical principles remind you that your integrity is worth more than temporary gain.
In your relationships: The Bible guides us to love unconditionally, forgive quickly, and honor one another (Ephesians 4:32). In a culture that often promotes self-centeredness and “looking out for number one,” Scripture calls us to a higher standard of relationships.
Whether you’re navigating dating, marriage, friendships, or family dynamics, the Word provides a blueprint for healthy connections. It teaches us that love is not merely a feeling but a choice – a daily decision to prioritize others’ well-being. When conflicts arise, and they inevitably will, Scripture instructs us not to let the sun go down on our anger (Ephesians 4:26).
When someone hurts us, the Word challenges us to forgive as we have been forgiven. These aren’t easy principles, but they are transformative ones that create relationships built on God’s foundation rather than shifting human emotions.
In your finances: Scripture shows us stewardship, generosity, and faith-driven giving (2 Corinthians 9:7). Money is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the Bible because God knows how powerfully it influences our hearts and decisions.
The Word teaches us that everything we have belongs to God – we are merely stewards of His resources. This perspective completely transforms how we earn, spend, save, and give. When you’re tempted to make an impulsive purchase, Proverbs’ wisdom about planning and prudence speaks to you.
When you wonder whether you can afford to tithe or give generously, Scripture reminds you that you cannot out-give God. When anxiety about finances threatens to overwhelm you, Jesus’ words about God’s care for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:25-34) bring peace and perspective.
When we align our choices with God’s Word, we don’t just survive – we thrive. Thriving doesn’t necessarily mean accumulating wealth or avoiding all hardship; it means living with purpose, peace, and the confidence that comes from walking in obedience to our Creator.
Simple Steps to Apply the Bible in Everyday Life
Many believers want to live by God’s Word but don’t know where to start. The journey from Sunday pew-sitting to Monday-through-Saturday Word-living doesn’t happen accidentally – it requires intentional practices that become life-changing habits.
Read daily, even if it’s one verse – consistency matters more than quantity. You don’t need to read entire chapters to experience transformation. Sometimes a single verse, deeply considered, can reshape your entire perspective. What matters is developing the discipline of daily engagement with Scripture.
Whether it’s early morning, during lunch, or before bed, establish a consistent time when you open God’s Word. Start small if necessary – five minutes is infinitely better than zero minutes. As the habit becomes established, you’ll naturally desire more time in the Word.
Meditate on Scripture – reflect on what it means for your situation. Biblical meditation is not emptying your mind but filling it with God’s truth and allowing that truth to permeate your thoughts. When you read a verse, don’t rush past it. Ask questions: What does this reveal about God’s character?
How does this apply to what I’m facing today? What would my life look like if I truly believed and lived this truth? Write the verse down, carry it with you, repeat it throughout the day. Let it become the lens through which you view your circumstances.
Pray with the Word – turn verses into prayers for your life. One of the most powerful prayer practices is praying Scripture back to God.
When you read Philippians 4:6-7 about not being anxious, turn it into a prayer: “Lord, help me bring every concern to You in prayer with thanksgiving. Grant me Your peace that surpasses understanding.” This practice keeps your prayers aligned with God’s will and builds your faith as you declare His promises over your life.
Practice obedience – apply what you’ve learned immediately. James 1:22 warns us not to merely listen to the Word but to do what it says. When Scripture convicts you to forgive someone, do it that day. When you read about generosity, look for an opportunity to give. When the Word challenges your attitude, ask the Holy Spirit to help you change it.
Obedience is where transformation happens. Knowledge without application leads to pride; knowledge with application leads to Christ-likeness.
Stay accountable – join a small group or Bible study like those offered at TRC. Spiritual growth rarely happens in isolation. When you surround yourself with other believers who are also committed to living by the Word, you create an environment of mutual encouragement, correction, and growth.
At TRC, our small groups provide a safe space to discuss how Scripture applies to real-life situations, to confess struggles, to celebrate victories, and to pray for one another. These communities become spiritual families that help you stay consistent when motivation wanes and challenge you when complacency creeps in.
Conclusion
Living by the Word is not a religious activity – it’s a lifestyle of victory. The Bible is practical, powerful, and personal, guiding us in every area of life.
When you build your decisions on the foundation of Scripture, you position yourself for success that transcends worldly definitions. You gain wisdom that money cannot buy, peace that circumstances cannot steal, and purpose that gives meaning to every moment.
At TRC, we are committed to teaching and living out God’s Word so that every believer can walk in wisdom, purpose, and rulership. We don’t just talk about biblical principles from the pulpit; we demonstrate them in our marriages, our businesses, our parenting, and our daily interactions.
Our vision is to raise up a generation of believers who don’t compartmentalize their faith – who understand that following Jesus means allowing His Word to influence every decision, from major life choices to everyday moments.
The transformation you’ve been longing for – in your relationships, your finances, your career, your peace of mind – is found in the pages of Scripture. God’s Word contains the answers to the questions that keep you up at night, the wisdom for the decisions that weigh heavily on your heart, and the strength for the battles you’re fighting. But you must move beyond merely admiring the Bible to actively applying it.
Join us every Sunday at The Rulership Church and experience transformative teaching that equips you to make everyday decisions by God’s Word. Come expecting to encounter not just information about the Bible, but the living God who speaks through it.
Come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped. Come prepared to step into the abundant life that Jesus promised – a life built on the solid rock of Scripture rather than the sinking sand of human wisdom. Your best days are ahead when you choose to live by the Word.
