Are You Looking For an Easy Religion?

Does your church use women in the worship service?
1 Corinthians chapter 14, verses 34 & 35.
34. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Does your church uphold homosexuality?
Romans chapter 1, verses 26 through 32.
26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31. Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Genesis chapter 5, verse 1 & 2.
1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day they were created.
Matthew chapter 19, verse 4.
Christ was teaching along the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan.
4. And he (Christ) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

What's in a Church Name?

What’s in a Church Name?

By what name is your church congregation known? Is it manmade, or scriptural?
In Acts chapter 4, the setting is Jerusalem where Peter and John were in the midst of Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
Verse 7: And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? (The good deed done to the impotent man in Acts chapter 3)
Verse 10:(Peter tells them): Be it known unto you all, and to the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Verse 11: This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Verse 12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Psalms 11, verse 9:
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

We do not have scriptural authority to put the word 'reverend' in front of any name.

Yours In Christ,
