Mutual Responsibility
Any organization has rules for how the money may be spent from its treasury.
We must follow the rules that are given to us in God’s Word.

Odd Argument: Singing
Booklet’s Argument: Individuals are commanded to
sing. So we can’t sing in the assembly.

Conclusion
There is a distinction between commands to the individual and commands to the church.
The church treasury can only be used in ways that have been authorized.
There is no example of a man-made institution being used in the early church.
