Mr O, some Christian books I’ve been reading recently mention ‘The Regulative Principle’. I think I know what that is, but I’m not entirely sure.
Have you asked the AI feature on your phone?
Yes, of course. But I don’t trust everything that AI tells me, especially about spiritual things.
How wise! Well, ‘The Regulative Principle’ is a rather dull theological term for something which ensures that our churches bring the Lord pleasure rather than disappointment.
I’m glad that I’ve asked my question, then, because I obviously need to know about it.
We include in our worship only those elements that he has expressly commanded, or of which his Word has given us clear examples. We leave everything else out.
