It is vitally important in those matters on which God directs the actions of man, to know, upon what authority anyone presumes to know God’s desires and commandments, and to express them to others. What authority did the earliest Christians recognize?

This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

The Kind Of Church I Want Mine To Be

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more
