When you came to town did
you go to the church where
there were the largest crowds?
Or did you go where most
of the business men, lawyers,
judges, professors and rich
people go?
Matt. 7:13-14: “ Enter ye in
at the straight gate: for wide
is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruc
tion. and many there be which
go in thereat: because straight
is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life
and few there be that find it."
I Cor. 3:19. “ For the wisdom
of this world is foolishness
with God.” Luke 6:24: “But
woe unto you that are rich! for
ye have received your conso
lation.”
Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25: "For
it is easier for a camel to go
through a needle's eye. than
for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God."
Matt. 7:15: “ Beware of false
prophets which come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves.” The
16th verse says: “ Ye shall know
them by their fruits.”
Then the Scriptures go on
telling that if they were of the
tree of Christ they would be
like Him. the church as His
bride would be twain with him.
Judge ye for yourselves; is
the church you go to the church
that Christ and His apostles
set up on the day of Pentecost
or is it the church that man
has set up since Christ and all
the apostles have died.
Refer to the Scripture above:
"Ye shall know them by their
fruits." If they do not worship
the same way the apostles did
"they are ravening wolves in
sheep’s clothing."
John 5:39: “ Search the Scrip
tures, for in them ye think ye
have eternal life: and they are
they which testify of me.”
Do you testify of Christ as
He is and of His bride (the
church) as He left in His will
and testament?
Do you assemble yourselves
together on the first day of the
week to break bread and take
of the cup, the fruit of the
vine?
The apostles did—Acts 20:7.
Let us notice howT Paul com
manded the church at Corinth
to take of the Lord’s supper.
I Cor. 23:26.
In I Cor. 14:15: "I will pray
with the spirit: and I will pray
with the understanding also:
I will sing with the spirit, and
I will sing with the understan
ding also."
There are many other things
they did in the church but you
must study your New Testa
ment and learn of the ways of
the Lord.
If there are any questions or
you would like to study any
part of the New Testament

Sunday morning or Wednes
day evening in a class, you
may call or go to Parma on the
hill by the water tower or at
Ontario on S.W. 1st St. and
S.W. 6th Ave.
There you will find people
trying to learn more of God
and His ways.
