  1. ISSUES FACING THE CHURCH: STRIVING TO STAY INFORMED (II TIM. 2:15; I PET. 3:15)

  2. WHY TALK ABOUT ISSUES? • 1. BECAUSE DOCTRINE IS IMPORTANT (I TIM. 4:16; II JOHN 9). • 2. BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO SLIP (HEB. 2:1; GAL. 6:1). • 3. BECAUSE THE BIBLE WARNS US (HEB. 3:12; I TIM. 4:1; II TIM. 4:1-4).

  3. THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST • 1. FIRST CENTURY – CHURCH WENT INTO ERROR (ACTS 20:28). • 2. RESTORATION MOVEMENT – CHURCH DIVIDED (1859). • 3. TODAY – TAKE HEED!

  4. SOME ISSUES FACING US • NECESSITY OF BAPTISM (ACTS 2:38) • ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE CHURCH (I TIM. 2:8-9) • NATURE OF THE CHURCH (EKKLESIA -- CALLED OUT) – ACTS 2:37-47

  5. HOW SHALL WE VIEW THE BIBLE? • VERBALLY INSPIRED (I COR. 2:11-13) • WORD-FOR-WORD WHAT GOD INTENDED • AUTHORITATIVE FOR US (JOHN 8:31-32; 17:17)

  6. STAY WITH THE BIBLE • DO NOT “GO ONWARD” (II JOHN 9) • DO NOT ADD TO, DO NOT TAKE AWAY (DEUT. 4:2; 12:32; REV. 22:18-19) • SPEAK WHERE THE BIBLE SPEAKS; REMAIN SILENT WHERE THE BIBLE IS SILENT!
