It was small, friendly, everyone interacted, and it was okay to interrupt to ask questions or add to the teaching or others' comments. Real friends were made.

We can not forsake the assembly of the saint. We can not be who God created us to be without the body of Christ. Find the right church people! And until you do, keep looking for it.

You will find more of the spirit of God in your heart than a building full of unrighteous pretenders.

Almost daily I find more reasons to distance myself from the organization. On the rare occasion that we do attend we find that it just seems so counterproductive and empty that we inevitably leave frustrated and sad. Instead, we have found great joy in our home church ministry and simple Christian living. I think it's called freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
