Worship Is Out of Order &
Whenever It Is Done In .
The Wrong Church (
Jesus Christ has but
one true church (Matthew
16:18). When a church
sings like God says sing, 1
communes when God j
says commune, preaches
the one true gospel like
the Bible teaches, having J
no creed but the Bible, it g
is none other than the
Church of Christ.
Religious division is .
sinful in the sight of *
Almighty God (I Corin- 1
thians 1:10). If you are in ’
a church that is not found
in the Bible, your worship ’
is our of order, in vain, (
useless. You can’t be in ‘
the wrong church and (
worship God in spirit and '
in truth. *
Being honest is not
enough; worship must be
done honestly according
to the truth. John tells us
that if we go beyond the
things that are written in
the Bible, we don’t have
God (II John 9). Christ
said that there is only one
way leading unto
everlasting life (Matthew
7:13,14). Christ said, “I
am the way” (John 14:6).
1 am the one Door (John
10:9). I am the one
Shepherd (John 10:16),
and there is one fold
(John 10:16). Paul
preached one body, one
church, one Lord, one
faith, and one baptism
(Ephesians 4:1-7).
Worship Is Out of Order
When It Is Done
Ignorantly.
The Bible speaks of
ignorant worship (Acts
17:22). When Paul went
to the proud city of
Athens, talking to the
lawyers, doctors,
philosophers and the
echelon of the academic
world, a city noted for its
schools, universities who
had students of old Plato
and Socrates, he said:
...Ye men of Athens,
I perceive that in all
things ye are too super
stitious. For as I passed

With This Irrefutable
Evidence, How Can the
Religious World Say That
There Is Nothing In A
Name?
One day my blessed
Lord met a man who had
lost his identity (Luke
8:26-39). This man’s utter
frustration drove him
from the companionship
of his loved ones and out
into the cemetery, the
He said he turned his
prejudice, drunkeness
and profanity over to
God. “He turned me into
a dynamo for Him. Not a
robot, but a dynamo for
Him. True repentance
brings change.”
To the predominantly
female audience, he im
plored, “Young ladies,
don’t mess around with a
guy who doesn’t love
Jesus Christ.”
ilent city of the dead.
He was running around
raked, cutting himself
ind perhaps pulling up
ombstones. But one day,
he Master approached
his mad-man and his fir
st question was, What is
your name? This was a
question of identity and
his pathetic cry was, I
don’t know my name. I
have so many names.
Sometimes I am a
Pharisee, sometimes a tax
collector, sometimes a
military revolutionary. I
really don’t know my
name; my name is
Legion.
The Master called that
demonic spirit out this
man and sent him back
home saying, “Return to
thine own house, and
show how great things
God hath done unto
thee” (Luke 8:39).
Solomon tells us about
the value of a good name.
“A good name is better
than precious ointment”
(Ecclesiastes 7:1). “A
good name is rather to be
chosen than great
riches...” (Proverbs
22:1). There is something
in a name. Have I a wit
ness here? Long, long
time ago, Isaiah said:
For Zion’s sake will I
not hold my peace, and
for Jeruslem’s sake I
will not rest, until the
righteousness thereof go
forth as brightness, and
the salvation thereof as
a lamp thatburneth.
And the Gentiles shall
see thy righteousness,
and all kings thy glory:
and thou shalt be called
by a new name, which
the mouth of the Lord
shall name. (Isaiah
62:1.1).
