The Regulative Principle Of Worship 1
The regulative principle is not going to deal with whether or not it is Scriptural to have electric lights or to meet inside or outside. It will deal with the very specific elements of worship and what we can participate in while worshipping the one true and living God. So why have a regulative principle of worship? The reason is three fold. 1. First, God has told us that He is to be worshipped. The very first commandment states that we are to have no other god before the One God who has redeemed us. All men of all times are called to bow the knee before the Lord of the Universe. 2. The second reason we need a regulative principle is because this God who has commanded us to worship Him also knows exactly how He is to be worshipped. And anything other than sanctioned worship is not acceptable. 3. The third reason we need a regulative principle is because we can not be trusted with instituting or maintaining biblical worship. We are going to see this in the Second Commandment.

The Purpose of Preaching
The purpose of preaching is not to entertain, nor to pass time. It is to change the lives of the hearers. With this in mind, Paul urges the young Timothy to preach for life change from the inside out.
