Functions of christianity and the church assignment

Other churches resolved with having a mix of all types of songs in one service rather than avian multiple services. The only problem with this solution Is that the Inconsistency of song type may lead to members leaving. Another solution Is to simply continue with the song selection with limited variety, and for those who do not accept or relate may need to just find another church that fancies their likings. Although this solution seems rather harsh, it keeps the views of the church steady and demonstrates consistency.

The second area of Christianity and the Church is the function of proclamation. Unlike the definition for worship, the definition for proclamation could to be better said. It reads, “ A public or official announcement, especially one dealing with a matter of great importance. ” Proclamation is the growth of the body of Christ where the lost are found, the captives set free, and the sleepers awake. The idea behind proclamation is not that of increasing in size and numbers, but to bring people to Jesus.

That being said, the only thing to do is to respect the traditions and views of other denominations and religions, allow them to do what they please so long that they are not inflicting another’s rights, and have “ professional” arguments and debates with each other if they so please. In addition, everyone should remember that Just because there is another view on how to praise and live for God, it does not mean that they are going to hell, for that too causes fellowship to crumble. The next area is the function of edification.

Where proclamation results in the growth to the body of Christ, edification results in individual growth. One of the most common and recognizable forms of edification is that of discipleship, where someone is guided in their walk with God and where they can learn to grow closer to Him. However, there are several threats that attack this particular function. In the past, for example, a sect of people became so distorted by what they “ knew as the gospel” that distortion became so bad that they ended becoming their own religion, Gnosticism.

In that situation, they are coming in without Jesus as the center of their ministry versus someone who later lost sight of Jesus. Some would say the former is the worst of the two situations. Although this is something that continues to happen today, the only way to keep this from increasing is to hold each other accountable. When leaders and ministers begin to lose sight of Jesus and begin to treat their ministry as a Job, friends, family, and church members (fellowship) need to be right there next them “ lifting their arms” so that whatever orders that lay on the ministers shoulders may be lifted off.

Another way is to take a couple of days (or however long it takes) to reconnect with God and catch renewed vision in what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. As stated before, there are several functions of both Christianity and the Church, and each function carries its own risk and threat. However, through prayer, guidance, and accountability in fellowship, ministers can limit the distortion of the gospel and the distortion of Christianity as a whole. Vision in what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. As stated before,
