Have you ever read through the Bible and wondered is God commanding this of me? Or is He just recapping what happened? Theologians call this quandry prescriptive and descriptive texts. Prescriptive texts are commands in the bible that are for us to follow and descriptive texts are just describing what happened at that time. 

As we begin this new series, "The Movement" we'll be reading through the book of Acts, and not everything we read will be prescriptive. How can you know the difference? I found this article from The Village Church SUPER helpful. Check it out here:
