Before the Ink Was Dry

📜✨ NEW SONG: “Before the Ink Was Dry” — The Church didn’t come from the Bible. The Bible came from the Church.

Jesus didn’t spend His ministry telling people to sit down and start writing.
He didn’t say, “Write this in remembrance of me.”
He said, “Do this.”

He baptized.
He broke bread.
He forgave sins.
He gave authority.

And He built a Church that could teach, bind and loose, forgive sins, appoint bishops, priests, and deacons — and even gather in councils to make binding decisions — long before a single letter of the New Testament was written.

In fact, the only thing Jesus ever wrote, God let blow away in the sand.

That wasn’t an accident.
That was the plan.

Scripture is inspired.
Scripture is authoritative.
But Scripture was received, not self-generated.

The Church didn’t come from the Bible.
The Bible came from the Church — before the ink was ever dry.

🎶 “Before the Ink Was Dry” is a song about authority before paper, proclamation before publication, and a faith that was lived, taught, and guarded before it was ever bound.
