       God Versus the World
		
        | 
    
    
      | 
      We can see the influences of the 
		world all around us.  We have division, broken families, wars, 
		hunger, crime, violence and disease running rampant over the earth.  
		All of these things are a result of sin and worldliness.  God has 
		stood against the evil of the world and has been endeavoring to guide 
		His people away from it for as long the Earth has existed.  
		
       | 
    
    
      | 
      Worldliness has come into the 
		church and has caused division.  A house divided cannot stand; it 
		will fall.  Laying aside the world and and the teachings of men; 
		using only the word of God; by living how the first century Christians 
		lived, believing how they believed, teaching what they taught and 
		worshipping how they worshipped, we can be confident of being just what 
		they were; Christians.  And the church will be just what it was in 
		the New Testament; the Lord's church. | 
    
    
      | 
      This year's lectureship deals 
		with how we can stand with God in His opposition to worldliness in His 
		church.  Our plea is for all mankind to return to pure Christianity 
		as it is taught in scripture.  We can read of those who lived 
		at the time of Christ when He walked on the Earth.  They were there 
		when He lived and taught among them.  They were there when He was 
		crucified and when he arose and ascended back to Heaven to be with God 
		the Father and they were among the first Christians ever to live.   The pattern of Christianity they lived is recorded for 
		us today by inspiration  in the Holy Scriptures.  Using their 
		examples, we can pattern our lives after the Christians who were there 
		when the Lord's church was established.

      All are invited to join us as we 
		seek to learn how we can stand with God in His opposition to the world 
		and unite under Jesus Christ. |
