Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-ch chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

The Customs of the Corinthians, as we pick up in 1st Corinthians chapter 11, verse 15.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

and all when they went to church. But Paul says,

we don't have any such custom in all the churches. If you want to argue about it, no big deal.

There's no such custom in all the churches. It was something that did relate more to the church

in Corinth. Now, I praise you that you, you know, kept my ordinances and all, but there's something

I don't praise you for what I'm going to talk to you about now.
