Welcome to Midway Church of Christ                                 

What’s your question? for Nov. 7

What does "be silent" mean?

The slogan "Speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent" is based upon 1 Peter 4:11: "If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God…" This implies if God’s word is silent about something, we should not teach or practice it. The New Testament speaks about the Lord’s supper on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7); it is silent about Saturday. It speaks about singing in worship (1 Cor. 14:15); it is silent about instrumental music. It speaks about churches teaching, and ministering to their needy (Eph. 4:11,12); it is silent about churches providing social meals, recreation and entertainment. The Midway congregation is committed to being simply a church, not a social club or entertainment center. If you are interested in this kind of church, we invite your investigation.
