A Distinguishing Characteristic Of A True New Testament Church

God’s Order of Headship

Bob Gessner

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God….For the man is not of the
woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman
for the man (1 Cor. 11:3,8,9).

Reassembling The Assembly

Steve Hulshizer

The question is often asked, “Do assembly principles apply to
meetings held outside the assembly?” The answers vary greatly depending on who you
ask. The real problem is that Scripture does not address such gatherings, and, as such, in
the eyes of many we are left to our own thinking.

ANNA ?Meditations – Luke 2:25-38

By Barry Kirk

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. she
was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple,
but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all
them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem
. Lk. 2:36-38

Wanted: Shepherds For The Sheep

Samuel Ridout

Where are the pastors today? No time for visiting? Too busy? The
wolves are busy scattering the sheep; divisions and worldliness press on every hand.
Compromise, neglect of Christ?s interests, disregard of His honor ? all these
are present; where are the pastors today? The Church has all the gifts; there are
brilliant orators, scholarly teachers; good men and true. There are schools and colleges;
education can be gained by any desiring it. Surely the Lord has not forgotten the need of
His people, nor is He indifferent when He sees them scattered as sheep without a shepherd.
