Today's episode will help us explore the conviction about God's word that guides us towards unity within the restoration movement.

Orpheus Heyward emphasizes the importance of unity in the Restoration Movement, grounded in the belief that Jesus Christ and Scripture serve as the final authority. Key points include handling the word of God with integrity, recognizing and managing biases in interpreting Scripture, and understanding the role of preachers. Orpheus Heyward discusses the historical context and significance of specific biblical passages, such as 2 Timothy 3:16 and Acts 2:42. An anecdote about cooperation between Churches of Christ and the Christian Church highlights the need to focus on core doctrines rather than divisive issues like instrumental music in worship. The speaker advocates for scriptural integrity and not letting personal or traditional biases hinder fellowship among believers.
