Have you ever wondered what the early church was like? You are not alone.
Today, many are questioning the relevance of the modern religious church. Largely inconsistent with New Testament revelation and standard, its teaching style, traditions, and practice are difficult to explain, rationalize or reconcile. Indeed, they often provide more questions than answers. |

For example:
What is the purpose and mission of the modern religious church? As demonstrated by spending and predominant activity, what is the primary emphasis of the modern religious church? Why does the modern religious church have a “service”? What is it designed to accomplish? What is the origin of church buildings, pews, pulpits, and “services”? Why is teaching the primary ministry of the modern religious church? Who is responsible for protecting and preserving the doctrine of the modern religious church? Has the modern religious church “service” replaced the personal presence and ministry of Jesus Christ to His body? Why has the celebration of the Lord’s Supper become a somber ritual? What happened to spiritually gifted “every member ministry”? What happened to loving, corrective church discipline? Why are most modern religious churches unable to fund outreach and missions? Why is the typical modern religious church unable to report one new conversion annually? Why is the modern religious church largely ignorant about its spiritual enemy and his schemes? |
