Though most people have never been home-schooled, they fully believe in being home-churched. – Anon
Though Abram was away from his homeland, he still sought out God’s high priest (Melchizedek) to worship. God called him friend. AMEN!
The early church (ekklesia = called out of God) met from house to house, or house to temple, but they always met together at the appointed times. God has always wanted his people to gather together to praise his name. Yes, we can worship by ourselves anywhere at anytime, but if Jesus truly came to establish the church we can be sure he had our attending it in mind. People today may think the church is archaic, old, out-dated, out of touch with reality, or run it's course. The question then becomes who gets to tell Jesus/God that. It's true God forgives us of our sins, but not our wanton disregard and excuses for not doing His will, and attending the church services is His will. As we progress through TODAY, let us begin to make preparations for Sunday.
Until Monday……
Pastor Botts
“Let us NOT give up meeting TOGETHER, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the DAY approaching.” – Hebrews 10:25
