Don't feed the sharks. Numbers can be manipulated. Either way.

God's church will survive. It doesn't have to have TPC written over the door.

Currently in the Charismatic church world it must have the word "Journey" or "Well" or "Spring" written over the door!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Don't forget "________ Point" or if you're real fancy "____________ Pointe"

1 Cor. 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own?"
So.... this discussion about where is the church, Paul has already told us where the church, the temple of God is.... it is in you, and me... it is in each one of us that are bought with a price... (vs. 20) therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
I am the Church. YOU are the church! Our bodies house the temple of the Holy Ghost! Not a church building... not a building made with man's hands...
Our hearts are now the dwelling place, and temple of the Holy Ghost... what an amazing, wonderful, and glorious thing to know that I don't have to go TO a church, but I AM the church, the temple of the Holy Ghost! And where two or three are gathered in my name... I will be there in the midst of them... that means at a prayer meeting, a coffee break, a chance meeting at the grocery store... wherever you are, and you gather in HIS name, He has promised to meet us there...
Now THIS is something to get excited about! |
This is true, but it is a good thing to have places set apart for the church to assemble for worship and fellowship.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I noticed you ignored the scriptures I posted which stated the apostles were found at the temple daily, preaching, teaching Jesus. The home groups were established as a resource for people who wanted more than a Sunday morning experience.
The Bible does not support your revisionist interpretation. Every influential person in the book of Acts took their message to the church. It said at least a half dozen times.
