    Over the years, it has been my pleasure to worship with many brothers and sisters in many different locations in the United States. If I asked someone to visit these congregations and describe them to me in two words or less, there would no doubt be a great variety of descriptive terms. Some of these terms would likely be: Liberal, charismatic, institutional, non-institutional, fundamental, one-cupper, mainstream, non-cooperative, Holy Roller, legalistic, anti, instrumental, non-instrumental, ...

    Every True Christian wants the congregation that he is a member of to be a sound and strong church, exerting good influence in the community, dwelling together in peace, etc. The only way that this can be achieved is for the membership of the congregation to continue to exert effort to be the kind of growing Christian that Peter admonishes in 2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him (be) the glory both now

    A careful study of church history is important if for no other reason than the fact that it will give the student a deep appreciation for the abundant blessings that God has given to him. Abraham Lincoln is credited with having said, “The person who does not respect the past has very little to offer the future.” While it is true that those who forget history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of     ...

    "Think On These Things"—Foundations: Every denomination has some doctrines peculiar to itself. These peculiar doctrines are the basis for its existence; upon them it was founded. Without these peculiar doctrines it would have had no excuse, no foundation, for its existence. Till resent years every denomination tried earnestly and persistently to justify it existence by a constant effort to prove the truthfulness of its doctrines. Both preachers and laymen believed their doctrines, and ...

    Many people will work hard to provide for their families, pay their debts, deal honestly with others in order to have a good name, for they realize that is better than otherwise. However, when it comes to religion, another attitude is assumed, and when Biblical terms are suggested, instead of human names, it is often affirmed "There is nothing in a name." A preacher once said that in the pulpit and an old sister in the back arose and exclaimed: "Praise be to Beelzebub." The preacher ...

    Four Types Of Worship

    Here is an important truth that is hard for some people to hear: NOT ALL WORSHIP IS PLEASING TO GOD. Notice how the Bible proves this true:

    • Cain: Genesis 4:5
    • Nadab & Abihu: Leviticus 10:1-3
    • The Corinthian Congregation: 1 Corinthians 11:17-22
    In each of these examples we are shown that the worship that was offered was found by God to be unacceptable. What is not debated is that those involved worshiped. What is clear however, ...

    “Members of the Church of Christ think they’re the only ones going to Heaven”

    by Keith Camp


    Several years ago, during a Bible study I was conducting on how a person is saved, a denominational preacher blurted out: “You and your little group believe you’re the only ones going to Heaven, don’t you?! You think that everybody who doesn’t believe and practice your convictions is going to Hell. Well, let me tell you, the Bible doesn’t teach that! And I’ll never ...
