Amos,
R.P. The Church :
a discipleship manual for the body of Christ
[262 AMO]
“This study manual is designed for disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ who are serious about serving Him. It deals with the subject of God’s church and answers, from the Word of God, many questions Christians ask concerning the assembly (church) of God’s New Testament children. As believers, we are to base our actions and beliefs on the written Word of God – our beliefs as to the gospel we have trusted, who Jesus is, moral absolutes, etc. Why is it, though, that so many feel, when it comes to the church, it suddenly becomes optional how to do it? Why do people believe that man’s modern ideas plus centuries of tradition can be more successful than God’s pattern? If God has revealed truth for the church, why shouldn’t that be obeyed also in simple faith? Thus, this manual will deal with the operation of the church and how a discipline functions within it – according to the authority of the holy Word of God alone.”
