* * * * * VALERIE CARAOTTA. A comprehensive work depicting changes in congregational protocol and political structure
In Changes in Worship Since the First Century you will find a very comprehensive chronological account beginning with the first-century apostles and leading to our present day worship. It is not the “worship” in terms of singing but in terms of the structure of the early church and its changes. As you discover how Rome dominated the early church with the Catholic church emerging, it will be eye-opening how those that denied this faith’s beliefs were tortured and killed-often burned at the stake. One individual, for example, was sentenced to execution for not going to mass, not making confession, and not believing the bread and wine was Jesus actual body and blood.
Author Kathryn Haddad recalls how God’s laws became lost in church legalism, rituals, and policies and actually resulted in more division among one another. She shares very candidly the following: “This is Satan’s greatest weapon in the church. If he can build a hedge of creeds and regulations around an organization, it can choke out the primary purpose of the church’s existence, and in the process choke out the church.”
She encourages us to break away from traditional denominationalism and instead seek to unite with nondenominational brothers and sisters, adhering to the Bible only as the blueprint.
Church leaders and ministers will find the detail informative as a reference source and teaching aid. Individuals desiring to better understand church history will too find this a welcomed addition. Haddad has spent many years studying Biblical truths and also teaches English over the Internet. She has daily inspirational nuggets you can sign up for on her website along with her Facebook page.
