Why So Many churches?
There are literally
thousands
of different churches
in the United States all claiming to teach the truth of God. We need
to ask ourselves, “Why are there so many different churches with
different names and beliefs?” God is not the author of confusion (1
Corinthians 14:33)
In looking for a
church, which church will we look for?
A church
assembling by Christ’s authority and with a Bible name only?
(Matthew
18:20;
Romans
16:16).
A church with
the gospel as its drawing card no
amusements to draw crowds?
(Romans
1:14-16;
1
Corinthians 1:18-23).
A church where
nothing is taught but the Bible, and the New Testament is its guide?
(Hebrews
12:24;
1
Peter 4:11;
James
1:25).
A church that
teaches its members to live in keeping with the principles taught by
Jesus Christ? (Romans
2:21-22;
Philippians
1:27).
A church
supported by the free-will offerings of its members, as Paul gave
orders to the churches in Galatia and Corinth? (1
Corinthians 16:1-2).
A church guided
by its head only, and that head having only “one body” — the
church? (Colossians
1:18, 20-24;
Ephesians
1:22-23).
A church that
stands for the purity of the gospel both in doctrine and practice?
Gal.1:6-9;
Eph.1:22-23
“Restore Once
More”... the
church in our community that imitates the pattern of the first
century and honors the name of Christ. Acts
4:10-12; 20:28

He Comes….Bill
