MatthewB Vernal Church of Christ As we continue to rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Tim 2:15), the next two articles are of utmost importance. In them we hope to PLAINLY share with you the NEW TESTAMENT PATTERN FOR ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP. In vivid contrast to the pomp, ceremony and ritual of humanly devised religion stands the simple, yet beautiful worship of the New Testament church. This worship, inspired by God and taught by the apostles, provides the only real pattern by which acceptable worship can be carried out today. One result of falling from GOD'S PATTERN OF WOR- SHIP has been the formulation of various unscriptural human practices. Many or these have been carried on so long that they are often accepted without the slightest hesitation even though authority for their use cannot be found in a single verse of the New Testament. Since they cannot be found in God's Word they must of necessity be "the commandments command-ments of men" of which Jesus spoke, and therefore constitute vain worship (Matt 15:9). The Bible teaches that the PLAN OF WORSHIP laid down by Christ and the apostles was simple and easily understood. It consisted of five items: prayer, giving, preaching, singing and the Lord's Supper. Today we will briefly study PRAYER and GIVING as worship to God. PRAYER - the importance of prayer is so generally accepted as to require little comment. A few of the many Scriptures that might be cited are: Matt 6:5-8; Luke 18:1-8; Acts 2:42; 12:5, 12; 16:25; 20:36; Rom 8:26; 1 Thess 5:17; 1 Tim 2:1-3,8. Even on this subject, however, human changes have sometimes been made. The practice of praying to Mary or to certain "saints," or of praying through them to God falls into this category. The Bible says that there is only "...one mediator .it hifi fo between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim 2:5). Mary is nowhere in the Bible exalted to such a position, nor is it even hinted that she has any kind of special authority or position above any other faithful disciple (cf. Matt 12:46-50). The practice of praying to "saints" is likewise the product of pure human imagination and has absolutely no basis in the Scriptures. Even an angel of God would not allow such homage (Rev 19:10; cf. Acts 10:25-26). All such acts are therefore the "commandments of men" and are vain worship (Matt 15:9). GIVING - in 1 Cor 16:1-2 the Bible states that the contribution was taken "upon the first day of the week." Although supporting the preaching of the Gospel is a responsibility and privilege of every Christian it is always described in the New Testament as being done on a FREE WILL basis. High pressure methods, raffles, assessments, etc. were therefore never used. The Bible teaches that if contributions have to be secured by such methods they are not acceptable, regardless of the amount (2 Cor 9:7). For this reason collections were not taken at every service and other methods of raising money for the work of the church are unknown to the New Testament. Other related Scriptures are: Matt 19:29; Luke 21:1-4; Acts 20:35; 2 Cor 8:1-8. Please, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES and see whether these things are so (Acts 17:22), You are invited to attend our worship assembly at 2045 West Hwy. 40 in Vernal. We meet each Sunday at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. On Wednesday we meet at 7 p.m. Also, you are invited to watch the 30 minute "TRUTH IN LOVE" program each Sunday morning from 8:30 9 a.m. on.
