February 13, 2013Authority, Part 5
With general authority, aids are allowed, but never additions:
Song books aid in singing, but do not add another kind of music.
Mechanical instruments add another kind of music and usurp His authority.
Printed outlines with scripture references aid in Bible classes.
Teaching anything other than the Bible in our classes adds another subject of study and usurps His authority.
For a church to provide the necessary things for the relief of its needy members aids in its work.
For a church to turn the relief of its needy members over to a human institution for relief adds another organization; thus usurps His authority.
Bible authority comes to us in one of four forms:
Statement of fact
Mark 16:16
Matthew 19:4-5 - marriage
Matthew 26:29 - Lord’s Supper
Acts 20:7 - disciples gathered on the first day of the week to break bread and to hear preaching

February 06, 2013Authority, Part 4
Authority comes to man in one of two ways (continued):
Generic
In generic authority, some choices are left to man.
But the choices must be related to that which is generically authorized.
Church to assemble for Bible study/worship (I Corinthians 14:23. Thus, to provide a place for Bible study/worship is authorized.
For a church to provide a place for entertainment is to usurp His authority.
Church to teach the Word (Acts 20:28; thus, Bible classes, radio, tracts are authorized.
