House church or excuse?
 

The church in Maui started out in dad Malory's garage. Then after several years it was converted into a full-size church pretty nice. The house church exploded with growth and has expanded so much. Why wouldn't want to make an excuse when there are so many people to reach on the island. Let's build the biggest the best the greatest sanctuary that money can buy so that more people can be safe .

To stay at house church is for one or two excuses. One you don't have a ministry that is anointed to attract people enough to build a church. Number two if you don't believe in giving to the church Or paying tithing then you can't afford to build a church. That is the reason you would stay in the house church. This is ridiculous, quit making excuses

well, but it is the house church that exploded? i think maybe the Holy Spirit is in that, and then we as humans take over with the Big Plans?

Our house church is busting at the seams, and no doubt soon we will have to figure something else out. A good problem :)

Friend, this is rather myoptic, and even hurtful, both to those who are a part of a house church, and to the testimony of the Holy Scriptures.

The 1st century church was a house church, with occasional open air temple meetings, until they were kicked out. Are we then to say men like James, John, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, Agabus, Apollos, Aquila and Priscilla, Phillip, and Steven (to name but a few) weren't anointed enough to

1.) attract people...to build a church

or

2.) [didn't] believe in giving...

The house church in the 1st century had thousands of members, at least 12 fully functioning Apostles/Bishops, prophets and deacons. They had all things in common, and people went and sold all they had, including property and lands, and placed the money received at the apostle's feet. Gentiles received the Holy Spirit in a house meeting. Simon Peter was miraculously released from prison by an angel after an all night house prayer meeting. And I could go on.

In light of these facts, it is perhaps important that you not only rethink your original position, but retract it.
