TOWER OF POWER 20th Street Church of Christ

From the Minister’s Desk My Bible

When I am tired, the Bible is my bed ; Or in the dark, The Bible is my light. When I am hungry, it is vital bread; Or fearful, it is armor for the fight.

Or when I am sick, ‘tis healing medicine; Or lonely, thronging friends I find therein.

If I would work, the Bible is my tool; Or play, it is a harp of happy sound;

If I am singing, it is solid ground. If I am cold, the Bible is my fire; And it is wings, if I boldly aspire.

Should I be lost, the Bible is my guide; Or naked, it is raiment rich and warm.

Am I imprisoned, it ranges wide; Or tempest-tossed, a shelter from the storm.

Would I adventure, ‘tis gallant sea; Or would I rest, it is a flowery lea.

WELCOME

Cont. My Bible

Does gloom oppress? The Bible is a sun. Or ugliness? It is a garden fair.

Am I athirst? How cool its currents run. Or stifled? What a vivifying air!

Since thus? Thou givest of thyself to me, How should I give myself, great Book, to Thee?

Christ is King of all creation, all times and seasons, all that we do as individuals and as the church. Welcome as we gather to worship before the throne.

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST

This church is composed of a group of people who are drawn together for work and worship by a common faith in Jesus Christ and by a mutual respect for His word. We believe the church is God’s creation (Matthew 16:18), and we are simply trying to be “The house of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth” (I Timothy 3:15). Our hope is the eternal home in heaven (John 14:1-3). Our plea is: Speak where the Bible speaks; be silent where the Bible is silent. Our invitation is “Come let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18). All people of good will are welcome at every assembly. We would like for you to make a careful comparison of this church with the one described in details in your Bible. We believe that you will find that this church is not similar to but is identical in every way to the church you read about in the New Testament. This isn’t an exclusive or wealthy church; everything about it is very simple, and it is not its purpose to feed vanity or pride with a display of vain things. It is not its aim to amuse or entertain those who attend its services. It exists here as a simple New Testament body, pointing those of its community to the Christ and God of the Bible. Its doors are open to those who from the quiet depths of their hearts would reach out to God in simple worship and by obedient living. Here may the sorrowful enter and be comforted; may the tired and tempted souls find strength for the battle of life; may the careless be awakened and the strong renewed; may the aged find solace and the young find inspi-ration. And to him who seeks to serve his fellowman, we give a noble place and task. In Jesus Christ our Lord.
