Of course, it is not enough to recognize the truths of Scripture if we do not act on them. Many claim to be Bible-believing churches, and we thank GOD for that. But we must seek also to be a Bible-obeying church by the work of the SPIRIT of GOD in us. It is of the utmost importance that the HOLY SPIRIT be given HIS place in the local assembly. HIS power is the only power for worship, ministry, or evangelism. It is easy to displace HIM by substituting human arrangements. It is common in many congregations to have one man to preside as minister or pastor, with activities under his control (3 John 1:9; Rev. 2:6). However, it is the SPIRIT WHO is to direct the saints in their meetings (1 Cor. 12 & 14).
