Good Afternoon!

Here is the final update on the 3rd Annual Preacher's Files Lectureships, July 25-27, in Granby, Mo. Attached is a flyer for the meeting in Microsoft Word Doc Format.

We will be taking Questions and providing answers throughout the lectureship. If you would like to submit a question for the lectureship, you may do so via email to preacher@thatchristianwebsite.com or you may submit while in attendance at the lectureship. We will attempt to post all questions and replies given on the web for future reference.

We can see the influences of the world all around us. We have division, broken families, wars, hunger, crime, violence and disease running rampant over the earth. All of these things are a result of sin and worldliness. God has stood against the evil of the world and has been endeavoring to guide His people away from it for as long the Earth has existed.

Worldliness has come into the church and has caused division. A house divided cannot stand; it will fall. Laying aside the world and and the teachings of men; using only the word of God; by living how the first century Christians lived, believing how they believed, teaching what they taught and worshipping how they worshipped, we can be confident of being just what they were: Christians. And the church will be just what it was in the New Testament: the Lord's church.

This year's lectureship deals with how we can stand with God in His opposition to worldliness in His church. Our plea is for all mankind to return to pure Christianity as it is taught in scripture. We can read of Christians who lived at the time of Christ when He walked on the Earth. They were there when He lived and taught among them. They were there when He was crucified and when he arose and ascended back to Heaven to be with God the Father. The pattern of Christianity they lived is recorded for us today by inspiration in the Holy Scriptures. Using their examples, we can pattern our lives after the Christians who were there when the Lord's church was established.

All are invited to join us as we seek to learn how we can stand with God in His opposition to the world and unite under Jesus Christ.

God Bless,

Travis Main
