Subject: Is sacrifice requirement to christianity |
Bible Note: Ah! theres the rub. I view all para church organizations with trepidation. I believe that they may be good-hearted and well intentioned, but unscriptural. Scripture alone should be our rule, and we must measure everything we say and do by God's Word. It is my prayer that God will be pleased to send us a new reformation. One that restores the gospel to the church and opens our eyes to the fruitless schemes of men who think that human institutions and organizations please and glorify our God. They do not! "No one doubts that many have been greatly blessed as a result of the parachurch. But in light of the testimony of the Scriptures to the sufficiency, function, efficacy, promises, gifts, offices, endurance, position, and potency of the church, one must wonder seriously why there even exists such an entity as the parachurch. What is needed beside the church?" I recommend the article from which the above quotation is it's closing statement. http://www.credenda.org/issues/15-3doctrine101.php |
