More on Housechurches(less on House-a-God's)

[ThePastorsCoach]

Aquila, I think you should put all this you have written and put it in a book with a few recipes for casseroles and offer them to the people in the Simple House Churches. If you put a little donation box at the back, you might get a few dollars to help you print more to tell the TRUTH about the wonderful Simple House Church! You might want to include a chapter on Anti-Tithe!
It is well written and I think people in Montana and North Dakota would love to sit down and read about this by candlelight in the dead of winter or maybe it could used as curriculum in the Simple House Churches meetings. I can tell you are a great thinker and writer!!

You guys are missing out on so much! You should go to Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Savannah, Albany, New Orleans, Jackson, MS. Los Angeles, Harlem, Memphis, Washington, DC, NYC, Brooklyn, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami or somewhere near your little white house church meeting and visit an inner city store front church where they sing the praises of Almighty God and tears roll down their faces as they tell about the son that died of AIDS last week and the rent is due but God sent someone to pay it just in time. Hear the testimonies of healing and miracles of God's provision. Hear them preach the Word of God with powerful conviction and someone that has been an alcoholic for years tells of being sober for a year and how he preaches on the street every day to win people to Jesus. I wish you could see the hurting, homeless, broken and needy fall on an old wood altar and weep with all their heart and surrender their lives to the Living Christ!
Emotionalism - yes, very much so. They don't have the privilege of sitting on a couch in a suburban neighborhood attending a house church and eating casseroles afterward. They are stuck and so they sing and pray with much passion and rejoice and praise God and give him much thanks and praise for helping them and they do it with great emotion because WE ARE AN EMOTIONAL PEOPLE!
I certainly do not "glorify" the mega-church but I do know that ours sends multiplied MILLIONS of dollars (freely given) to missions and is building 150 houses now in Haiti and has sowed many millions in building....uhh.... Buildings for corporate worship (I would NOT want to call them CHURCHES because that would mean the people are NOT the church and only the building holds God's Glory!), Bible Schools, Children's Homes, fresh water wells and rescuing many young women from sexual slavery in Eastern European nations. Isn't that so bad and sad that a church of over 10,000 is changing lives, cities and nations, affecting presidents and Prime Ministers, rescuing the perishing and caring for the dying? What a shame that a MEGA-CHURCH is feeding the hungry weekly,doing jail and prison ministry, funds three large drug and alcohol treatment centers (started by member of FC) a home for unwed mothers and their babies, many community projects and hundreds of other ministries I could mention. I have preached, fed and clothed people in the buildings they have built in Peru, Cuba, Costa Rica, Haiti, and other nations.
So, forgive me for having a thought that a MEGA CHURCH can do something good!
Of course - they do not serve casseroles at the end of the teaching so...you might not even consider them a valid "CHURCH". ;-)
