One of the reasons classes and preaching today are not beneficial is due to each of us being comfortable with our beliefs and do not change so classes and sermons fall on deaf-ears. We make a big deal out of the Restoration Movement but generally discount as out-of-step with reality a lot of what they said. For example:
David Lipscomb wrote: "When I hear of a church setting out to build a fine building, I give that church up. Its usefulness as a church of Christ is at an end." He was also against paying preachers: "Concerning preacher salaries: "The preacher will cater to his supporters.
Apparently we support the Restoration Movement. . . to a point.
