Why do we worship the way we do?
Many Christians today are searching for simple, Bible-based answers. Why We Do What We Do walks through the core practices of the churches of Christ and asks one foundational question: What does the New Testament actually teach?
Written in a clear and accessible style, this book helps readers understand not only what we do in worship and church life - but why. Drawing directly from Scripture, each chapter explores the biblical reasons behind familiar practices while encouraging deeper study, conviction, and confidence in God's design for the church.
Inside, you'll discover:
What the Bible teaches about baptism and salvation
Why the early church gathered for the Lord's Supper each first day of the week
The biblical basis for a cappella singing
How the local church was organized under Christ's authority
Why Christians avoid denominational labels
What it means to restore New Testament Christianity
How Christians strive to live faithfully today
This is not a book of opinions or traditions. It is a call to open the Scriptures, listen carefully, and let Christ - not culture - shape the church.
Whether you're a lifelong member of the church of Christ or simply curious about its beliefs, Why We Do What We Do provides a concise, biblically grounded overview of Christian worship, doctrine, and daily living.
