Any procedure, organization or structure has a due order or it falls apart. Gary McDade was in the Navy in the Vietnam era and his good friend John Shannon (See a link to his YouTube channel below) was in the army. They understand what orders are and together brought their military viewpoint and expertise to this lesson. To follow the due order implies that no part of the order is omitted or substituted. Every Church has due orders that are found in their creeds, confessions of faith or its leadership. If a person or particular congregation associated with a group stops following the due order they may be expelled from the group. The Church of Christ is no different. Its due order is necessarily found in the New Testament. The Church of Christ is the Church of New Testament. If any of its congregations cease to follow the due order--the New Testament--then it ceases to be associated with the New Testament Church--Church of Christ. Adding to or taking away from the Bible is condemned by the Bible yet every denominational Church does just that (Deut. 4:2; Pbs. 30:6; Rev. 22:18-19; James Boyd of Bryan College). Does this seem o.k. to you? If so why? Let us know in the comments and thanks for listening!
