We must conduct self examination to be faithful to the Lord. How do we judge our integrity? 1) The Standard is the Lord, 2) The Service is Worship, 3) The State is Sanctification. Each person should conduct self evaluation according to the pattern set forth in Psalm 26.

Does the name of the church you are a member of reflect and honor our one Lord and God Jesus the Christ? I hope so. I also hope that the church of which you are a member reflects the identity of the New Testament church. If your church does not reflect that then I suggest you find a church that does. At the church of Christ, we strive to do just that, and we invite you to come and judge us in this regard. We invite constructive criticism. We want to know if we are not. We want to be transformed into the identity of Christ.
