Doing only what is authorized by

God – includes respecting His

authority TO TAKE NO ACTION

when His word is SILENT.

• The worship of the church: musical bands, non-vocal music, hand clapping, Christmas, Easter & Seder programs.

• The work of the church: secular education, recreation, contributing to human organizations for general benevolence & evangelism.

• The organization of the church: sponsoring churches, The World Convention of churches of Christ.

Respecting the authority of the silence of Scripture…

…will keep us from being misled ….will empower us to bring honor

to the name of Jesus Christ.
