A sincere Christian wants to know: “Why don’t churches of Christ use instruments of music in their worship?” The issue comes down to the matter of authority. Take a look at this theme with us in this week’s Question and Answer.

Some today urge that the King James Version of the Bible is the very best available, because it was based upon the “Textus Receptus” Greek text.
