Monthly Archives: January 2008
January’s top posts
Well, January is over — in Greenwich, England, and WordPress keeps their stats on Greenwich time, so it’s time for the month-end summation. January had over 10,000 views, compared to December’s previous record of over 6,300! I’m really surprised to … Continue reading
A Plea to Reconsider: Abusing Restoration Movement History
Miller’s concluding paragraph begins, Over a century ago, many churches of Christ were swept into what was then called “the digression.” The use of musical instruments in worship was one of the divisive issues that caused the breach. History is … Continue reading
Amazing Grace: Now that We’re Saved (reflections on the previous 3 lessons), expanded
[I had a student ask for some material from lessons taught years ago, and so I’ve added the chart and text beneath it. Of course, we’re really just getting going. There are more charts to come. I’ve also added an … Continue reading
A Plea to Reconsider: A Return to Creeds?
Miller’s conclusion focuses on the articles of incorporation of the Richland Hills Church of Christ. You see, as is true of many Churches of Christ, the original articles specified that the church may never use “mechanical” instruments of worship and … Continue reading
Amazing Grace: Now that We’re Saved (the Hebrews lesson), expanded
[In doing class preparation, I realized this lesson would likely take only 45 of the 55 minutes we now have. And so I added about 30 minutes worth of new material.] A very long time ago, when I was a … Continue reading
A Plea to Reconsider: What’s Not Religious?
On page 89, Miller begins to set up the classic “gopher wood” argument – But does that mean that we must have authority for everything we do in religion? Everything? What about the many things we do that the Bible … Continue reading

Oops. This got posted prematurely. I’m not sure how, but gremlins have been known to haunt the Internet. What a few of you saw was a draft. The real thing is coming in a few weeks. But it’s still in … Continue reading

A Plea to Reconsider: Must We Have Authority? Further Thoughts
Miller follows up his argument based on Colossians 3:17 with familiar arguments based on 1 Corinthians 4:6. I addressed this argument some time ago. See Going Beyond That Which is Written. He also makes the argument that either all silences … Continue reading
A Plea to Reconsider: Must We Have Authority?
Miller begins his argument that those who worship with instruments are damned by building the case for the necessity of authority – Perhaps no other doctrine is emphasized so frequently in Scripture as the principle of authority. Yet, perhaps no … Continue reading
A Plea to Reconsider: Introduction
A few weeks, I saw on a discussion board that someone had written a book challenging Rick Atchley’s sermons, called “Both/And,” defending the decision of Richland Hills Church of Christ to add an instrumental service. Rumor had it that someone … Continue reading
