IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING CHRIST’S DOCTRINES

God bless you for taking your time to study.

IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING CHRIST’S DOCTRINES? 
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 4:13-16
      
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 17th

Key verse: 1 Timothy 4:16 “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee”
Doctrines are teachings that are given to men in the church to guide their activities. In the case of a country, this is called a decree or constitution. The church is guided by doctrines that can bring out righteousness in men and make them qualify for heaven. The unity of the church is possible if the doctrines of Jesus Christ are stressed in all denominations. Where the people are told to come together but to put away the doctrines cannot be for Christ: Strange spirit will be in operation in such meeting. Some will come to that meeting bare-footed, half-naked, some men wearing caps, women in trousers and uncovered heads. People with two wives, jewelry, chains, and attachments will be in such meetings. Is that a Christian meeting? Of course, No. Wherever you see these, know that the true teaching is not there and whatever they do there cannot qualify men for heaven.
The church must rid itself of bad doctrines: Doctrines of men which lay aside the commandment of God and promote the tradition of men; Doctrines of devils that cause men to depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; Doctrines of backslidden and unholy ministers that exalt idolatry and immorality in the church; and Doctrines of vanity that shift the faith of the people from their Creator to idols and substances. What then is the good doctrine of God? The doctrine of Jesus includes Repentance and baptism in water and teaching converts to observe all things whatsoever Jesus has commanded. The apostles’ doctrines were according to Christ’s. Paul taught the same thing and passed it to Timothy and others and told them to follow him as he followed Christ. Desist from practicing doctrines of errors in your denomination. Note that sound doctrines produce godliness and build the church on truth, righteousness, and holiness. 

Thought for the day: Doctrines are meant to give salvation and save the church

Song for the day: Give me that old-time religion

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 16
Hebrews 12

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
