Everything In It's Place

There is a proper place for everything and everyone. The boat is fine in the water, but water is not fine in the boat. The church is to be in the world, but the world is not to be in the church. That is the problem in so many congregations today.

To attract more visitors and keep young people, many are departing from the New Testament pattern to pursue worldly matters. Instrumental instruments are brought in, praise teams installed, women serving in leadership roles in worship, and preaching watered down so as not to offend anyone.

What are we to do? Stand on the firm foundation of God’s word and be the congregation the New Testament commands and demands us to be! Resist “change agents”, preach the whole counsel of God, show love to all, and stand up to sin. Let us rejoice in the simplicity of being a New Testament Christian! May we never give in to pressures to be “politically correct” or to conform to what the world demands! The truth of God’s word is the truth regardless of what our government declares or Hollywood proclaims!

2 Timothy 2:19 teaches, “Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His;” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to keep away from wickedness.”



Stay true to the Word,
