Working Within The Etablishment Church Or Outside Of It: What Should We Do?

WORKING WITHIN THE ESTABLISHMENT CHURCH OR OUTSIDE OF IT; WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Written By S. R. Shearer

...

The Bible says that the church is -

"... the PILLAR and GROUND of the TRUTH" (1 Tim. 3:15)

But if the church no longer "abides in that truth" (I John 2:27) can it really be called the church any longer? The answer is obviously, No! Just because people who call themselves Christians meet together does not in itself mean that they meet as the church. The Mormons, the Moonies, the Jehovah Witnesses and countless other similar sects call themselves Christian - but does that mean that when they meet together, they meet as (or constitute) the church? - No, of course not! Why? - because they do not meet on the "ground of truth," despite the fact that they call themselves Christians. The Bible says:

"... God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

We repeat, the church is more than the assembly of those who call themselves "Christian" - it is the assembly of those who -

call themselves Christian
AND
meet on the "ground of truth."
