Who We Are
|
|
|
|
We at the County Line
church of Christ try to worship God with the
principal of
|
|
speaking where the
bible speaks and being silent where it is silent. We do our
|
|
best to speak
"as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11), and to "worship Him
in
|
|
spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).
|
|
|
|
Our understandings of the Scriptures
come from the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Direct Command
|
|
--Obeying a direct command that was given to the
Christians in the first century
|
|
|
|
2. Apostolic Example
|
|
--Following the examples set forth by the Apostles of
Jesus Christ that were
|
|
condoned by God
|
|
|
|
3. Necessary Inference
|
|
--Doing the things that would be necessary to fulfill a
certain command.
|
|
|
|
FOR EXAMPLE – WE ARE COMMANDED TO SING SPIRITUAL SONGS:
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:19; “Speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs,
|
|
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord….”
|
|
|
|
Colossians 3:16; “Let the word of Christ dwell in
you richly in all wisdom;
|
|
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs,
|
|
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
|
|
|
|
We are also commanded to do things decently and in
order:
|
|
1 Corinthians 14:40; “Let all things be done
decently and in order.”
|
|
|
|
Thus, in order to sing without causing confusion, song
books may be used to
|
|
maintain order, and keep everyone unified.

|
