and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of
the gospel. . ." (Col. 1:23).
Every new creature in Christ should be made aware that
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God; and are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly
framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the
Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit" (Eph. 2:19-22).
Paul instructed Timothy in these words: "And the
things that thou hast heard of me among many
witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2).
All these passages clearly instruct us to teach the
baptized to grow in the faith and avoid every wind of
doctrine that is designed to lead away from the faith once
delivered. They must learn to develop from milk to meat.
"For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word
of righteousness: for he is a babe. But the strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who
by reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil" (Heb. 5:13, 14). We must
exercise and develop those whom we have taught and
baptized into Christ.
If one is overcome in a fault, "ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted" (Gal. 6:1). Each one of us should feel a
personal responsibility to teach and cause to grow those
who have recently been baptized into Christ.
I have quoted extensively from scriptures rather than
just refer to the passages. I did this deliberately because
most people do not take the time to read the references.
By giving the passages in print the reader will have the
text of the inspired word in connection with the
statements of this writer. Search the Scriptures
whether these things be so!
AN EXEGESIS OF 1 COR. 11 :1-16
by James W. Shear
With a Review of the tract by Hiram Hutto
entitled "Command or Custom?"
A careful study of a controversial issue.
Some have never studied the passage at all.
Many have considered only one side of the matter.
Some have tried to bind their consciences on
others. We believe this study by Shear contributes
something worthwhile to all interested students.
