Defining Issues

Many brethren are concerned about the dramatic changes taking place in churches of Christ all across the country. Fundamental and significant doctrines are being compromised, error seems rampant and in places some churches of Christ seem to be determined to become little more than another denomination.

At Westside we are very concerned about these trends. However, we have a deeper perspective on these matters. We believe that much of what is going on among churches of Christ today is a direct result of loose attitudes toward Bible authority that were begun with innovations in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Some are sure that the problems among brethren are brand new, but we are just as sure that they are nothing but the “reaping” that comes with “sowing” (Gal. 6:7). Mistakes were made in the past that are bearing bitter fruit today. To read more click here.

Those questions are handled in this material. If after reading through this you will still want to email your question you will find a place to do so at the end of the material.
