I am reading about someone who has a fascination for the old Colonial churches in New Zealand.
He says that he would like to explore their history, that he would like to record their history and that he would like to take pictures of the churches.
And here are his own words:
“During my travels of New Zealand I have always had a fascination for the wonderful little old early Colonial churches scattered around, even though I seldom enter one in my daily life!” – New Zealand Today, May/June 2010, page 22)
WHAT IS THE CHURCH?
The church is not a building.
The church is a local congregation of saints.
1. A congregation of those who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. In their congregation the gospel is rightly preached.
3. In their congregation the sacraments are properly administered.
a. Baptism, Matthew 28:19,20.
b. The Lord’s Supper, Acts 2:42-46.
The BIBLE only teaches two sacraments (ordinances) of the church.
