God's Plan in the Earth God’s plan in the earth is more than a thought, an idea or
figment of our imagination. It is a reality working out the conclusion of all
things in the earth. The world in which we live is rapidly changing. New ideas
are replacing the old. New standards are preached as the old ones are rejected
and looked upon with criticism and dislike. Can the foundation of the Church be
destroyed? Are Denominations on its way out? What are the Church’s greatest
dangers? Will the present Church in this age fulfill its mission?
These questions and more are quite obviously answered by those who
understand and see the Church in the same perspective that the bible teaches.
The Psalmist says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous
do” (Psalms 11:3)? The
'righteous’ demands a plan and order for existence. We are believers in our
Lord’s purpose, plan, and order for man. The Bible is our guide and map to God’s foundation of
ministry. The scriptures attest
this in its entirely. We, in the
present New Testament Church sustain these facts by practicing its precepts,
instructions, and rules based on the apostolic order and practice. We subscribe
to the New Testament’s church principles and doctrines. God is the source of all knowledge and He has a full and perfect understanding of everything (Colossians 2:3). Not only has God known all of His works from the beginning (Acts 15:18), but He is also the one and only one who is able to declare the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9-10). It is God who in His providential powers establishes order, design and procedures to complete all that He has begun to do. This writing is an ongoing text of our Lord’s revealed plans and purposes of His Kingdom in the earth through the teaching of Doctrines in the New Testament Church. The New Testament Church’s Doctrines is continual presentation toward the whole person in Christ for the fulfillment of His New Testament Church’s Ministry. We seek Christ’s directions in the ministry: His life, ministry, His teaching, His call and service. We invite all to consider the guidance of this study; it’s instructions, pattern, and rule of order for us in today’s church thought, practice and procedures. I pray the use of it will be helpful in your church efforts and building. Perhaps, there may be found good use of these studies in Christian’s studies in Bible Colleges, as well as private studies. Our time spent in preparation of this texts for Christian's foundations has caused us to evaluate the faith and practice employed by the church today. The text on Bible Doctrines of the New Testament Church has this in mind as we re-examined what we have lost as we are moving ahead in what is called a modern age. Have our spiritual knowledge and progress been equal or excel our so-called modern progress? Can our age be rightly called the age of the knowledge of God and His’ Kingdom plans? Is there something that can awaken us out of our spiritual slumber and wrong directives? Can we as a general church be reformed before it is too late? The true church, does it exist? Is there a body of ministry believing and practicing the forgoing knowledge, principles, plans, order and text of ministry presented in the enclosed text "Bible Doctrines of the New Testament Church?
