Thanks for posting Stephen.
With that in mind, How do you feel about songs like: "Let us go into the house of the Lord". (and many more, from O.T. psalms). Compared to N.T. scripture?
And comments like . "Invite someone to come to God's house today" or, "Welcome to God's house, where anything can happen".
Doesn't that subconciencously send a message that you gotta be at the church building to see the "anything that can happen" (miracles etc)(especially when its said a lot)? And leave us perhaps a little weaker in faith, when it comes to us operating in the "anything happening" outside the building? (like praying miracles with someone at a public setting outside of the church building) Not to mention where does the building being so often referred to as the "house of God" line up with N.T. scripture like these:
Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,....
Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must
begin at the house of God: and if it first
begin at us,.....
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose
house are we, .....
Thanks again for commenting on the subject.
