Summary

The speaker emphasizes that building the church requires strict adherence to God's Word, citing examples like the requirement for women to veil their heads during public prayer or prophecy. He argues that true commitment to Christ's standards, even if it causes others to leave, is more important than maintaining large numbers. Ultimately, he concludes that God builds His church through those who are humble, contrite in spirit, and who tremble at His word.

Why God's word uses specific termsThe speaker stresses a deep respect for the word of God and questions why the Holy Spirit used specific terms like brother if they were not meant to be followed literally.

Following biblical practices in the churchThe church follows biblical patterns strictly, such as not using titles like father or rabbi, and requiring sisters to veil their heads when praying or prophesying publicly.

Modesty and living by every word of GodBelievers must dress modestly, not to impress others, but as if walking with Jesus in the marketplace, because man shall live by every word of God.

No favoritism or human partialityThe speaker states he knows no one according to the flesh, meaning personal relatives, friends, or even elders are rebuked if they are wrong so their blood is not on his hands.2 Corinthians 5:16

What kind of person God looks to build His churchTurning to Isaiah, the speaker notes that heaven is God's throne and earth is His footstool, and the one God looks to is the one who is humble, contrite, and trembles at His word.

Standing firm despite people leavingWhen a new church started in California and preached on head coverings, half the people left, proving that the speaker values obeying God over keeping large numbers.

Valuing spirituality over conveniencePeople who complain about standards being too high value human comfort over spirituality and God's word, much like someone rejecting a hygienic hospital or disciplined school.

A challenge to test everything by scriptureThe speaker challenges anyone to find anything practiced in their church that is not in the New Testament, or anything in the New Testament they fail to practice, expressing willingness to change it immediately.

The only way to build the churchConcluding that humanity is nothing before a great God, the speaker reiterates that without trembling at God's word and taking the lowest place, no one can build the church.
