CHURCH is...



OK when we say church, I think there can be 2 meanings.  I'll describe the one not really thought of first. Church can mean the body of Christ, all the Christians of all time. The church that is invisible to humans, and that Christ calls his own bride. The second more meaningful for today, and is just place of worship. The word church can be summed as either the church eternal or the church building

Why the 2 meanings, I think this word has been thrown around so much it has lost it's meaning. Guided by the enemy, people have changed what the word should be defined by Scripture.  



The enemy wants to distort our our understanding of why we go to a building for worship. The enemy wants us to pick a building to suit our own likes and wants. I like this music at this place, but I like the teaching of that one better. There's a woman who always wants to sit in MY seat at MY church. There's a man who sits 2 rows in front of me who irks ME as he sings off key. The woman who sits in the front distracts ME because she always raises her hands at the wrong time during worship.

BUT we should look at Church from God's point of view.


God's view is more like the first definition.  I will explain more if there are questions

  1. I had a person ask me a question, it basically went like this, "Is any group of believers gathered together discussing God considered church?
