Paul describes the office of an elder with unmistakable clarity: “If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work… A bishop then must be blameless” (1 Timothy 3:1–2, KJV). Titus is instructed to “ordain elders in every city” who hold fast “the faithful word” (Titus 1:5, 9, KJV).

2025-12-0236 min39th St Church of Christ PodcastThe Twisted Scriptures - Lesson 26 - Faith Only - Don UnderwoodIn this lesson, “Faith Only” from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine the popular but dangerous doctrine that claims we are saved by “faith alone” apart from any obedience to God’s commands. Many religious teachers lift verses out of context, ignore the harmony of Scripture, and pit one passage against another to defend a faith that requires no real submission, repentance, or faithful living. In this study, we carefully consider what the Bible actually teaches about faith, works, grace, and obedience—showing that true, saving faith is active, obedient, and trusting, not a mere mental agreement. By rightly divi...

Many errors arise not from rejecting the Bible outright, but from mishandling its meaning.
