“. . . I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15
For years a member of a former church would offer his advice about what the church was doing. He always prefaced his remarks by saying, “Well I’m a member of the Union, and in our Union we would do it this way. . .” Another man would say, “I own my own business and I’d do it this way. . .” I even had a Politician try and tell me how the church should do things. Beloved, the fat of the matter is the Church is the Body of Christ. The Church is a separate entity. We operate by following the Word of God.
The world attacks the principles that the Bible teaches. Man and woman are equal in God’s sight, but were created with different functions. God’s design for the family is also under attack. By changing God’s design in one area to accommodate current cultural norms, you have opened the door to changing all of God’s commands and designs. If the Bible can be WRONG in one place then it can be wrong in every place.
Paul is telling Timothy “HOW” Christians are to conduct themselves in the CHURCH. Beloved, we MUST never compromise the Word of God to gain the world’s approval. We MUST always endeavor to reach the World with the WORD of God.
