Why did he leave the Christian Church?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Aug. 4, 2010

About 80 years ago, Floyd Decker left the Christian Churches and began preaching in Churches of Christ. Here are some of the reasons he gave: (1) The C.C. has Education directors, Associate ministers and Youth directors; the C.of C. has elders, deacons, evangelists and teachers (Eph. 4:11; Phil. 1:1). (2) The C.C. emphasizes society and the physical man by appealing to the carnal nature, with church carnivals, bands, plays, choruses, dramatics, church kitchens, church camps and elaborate fellowship halls; the C.of C. does not (1 Cor. 10:7; 11:22,34; Rom. 14:17). (3) The C.C. owns Radio Stations, Hospitals and other Benevolent Societies; the C.of C. builds nothing but churches (Eph.3:21). He left churches that were practicing things not authorized in the Bible. What would brother Decker do if he were in some churches of Christ today?
