We live in such a "digital age," and so everything is at the very tips of our fingers...even the church. Everything from our bible, bible study, devotionals, and even preached messages are accessible from our smart phone home screen. Streaming a service from the comfort of your queen size bed has become a normality. Sometimes if you oversleep service you can watch the recorded version, and skip right over praise and worship. Many churches even allow their members to mail in their tithes and offering. Churches are trying to stay relevant in an ever progressing society. So, how do you feel? Is Sunday morning service a necessity? |

I believe yes it is relevant that we go. If we aren't able to make it, reasons being if we don't have a church to go to. (Some places may not have one built. Other countries, etc.) It's where you are safe to go & lay it at the alter. Some ppl even have church in there houses or at a hotel conference room. That's okay. What I'm saying is regardless we are the church. It's already in us. The house of God is the

Area where the atmosphere is set for a release, praise, worship, a move of God, workings from & to the church. We have certain places for certain behavior at times. Not saying none of this isn't allowed outside of church just as yu have a bed to sleep on. A chair to sit. A bathroom to release. Lol. & wash. A kitchen to cook & eat. There our places significantly made for the full abundance of the works & honor of God. Church has that atmosphere. Clapping& lifting of hands. Tapping of stomping of feet. Recieving of the Holy Spirit. Singing songs of God at the most high ! Much is allowed I. The house of God without any doubt of it being able to be done bc God made it for that purpose. (Matthew 21:13 & it is written my house should be called the house of prayer.) AMEN !

I completely agree with your saying that we are the church. COMPLETELY. But, if we confine ourselves to worshiping and listening to messages from our couch, it has its limitations. Church allows for growth because of ministries and hearing ideals from other believers. Whether this venue is a mega-church, store front, or street evangelism... The word requires action, and a surmount of this action happens through churches. I think that convenience warrants comfort, which then results in lack of any action at all.

Agreed, definitely ! I was intending those who can't make church as far as oversees, in our country where churches aren't built at. No building designated to do so. Then they should study if so start out there house or wherever they can meet & play out the action in an secluded area. I believe we're on the same page with this. lol. Correct if in wrong. lol. Great conversating with you about this. Opens up a wave of grace & love for others to ride along & ride with on this journey. Humbly to find more knowledge about our Lord & savior. As well as our thoughts on what we are building on in God spiritually. Iron & iron ! God bless you !
