What if...?
What if you had a different kind of Church? What if you attended a Church that did not own any buildings, or have a full time Pastor, or even meet on Sunday? What if?
Did you know there is a grwing movement of house Churches across America? It's pretty neat! They meet everyweek in intimate and personal home settings. This is where they share together, read Scriptures together, hold each other accountable, invite their friends, love each other and share Jesus. Instead of Church being on Sunday, they live it every day. Sounds sort of New Testament to me. If someone has a need, the need is met in the group. Since there are no buildings or full time staff -offerings are taken and used to help the needy in the community or to send Missionaries around the world. This sounds very interesting to me. Check out http://newsprings.net for more info on this model.
Oh by the way, they do have everyone in the house churches gather once a month for a celebration time to praise God for all He has done for them.
Give me your thoughts on this approach.

Bob, Amen, brother! Your reading my mind, but then that would be the same Holy Spirit putting the same thought in both of us.
I love your heart, Don!
