‘Following Biblical Church Customs.’
a) 1 Corinthians 11:16. Apostle Paul encouraged it.
b) Acts 6:14. The threat of changing customs can make people angry.
c) Acts 15:1; Luke 4:16; Acts 17:2. Clearly Biblical custom needs to be proclaimed, other customs need not be retained.
d) Acts 25:16; John 18:39. Sometimes even National Laws follow Biblical Church Customs and that is good.
e) Luke 22:39. Jesus had a place where He went to Pray.
f) Hebrews 10:25. It is spiritually healthy for the Church to:-
1- Not neglect meeting together.
2- Encourage and warn one another.
3- Be ready for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Chris.
The Lord is the Maker of Heaven and Earth. He is a Magnificent Creator. We should be able to stand in awe and Worship because of His Creation. Sadly, too often, we take His Creation for granted.
