Words of the Week

Throughout the city of Philadelphia there are vacant church buildings.
I mean huge structures which are the ghosts of past beliefs when people
believed in going to church and thought there had to be a magnificent temple
to meet in.  That time is past and most people have no use for church at all.  
Even if you see a huge building, there is probably not much membership;
so those big structures are either torn down, turned into apartments or
some other type of use.
 
It’s shameful so much money has been put into buildings only for them to
become abandon and fall into the need for repair because no one is concern anymore.
 
God never wanted a huge building even during King David and Solomon;
for it was men who thought that they should build temples. 2 Sam 7.1-17.
 
God can be worshipped anywhere, under a tree in a park, in your backyard,
in your basement, in a hotel conference room, etc.  All that will be needed is for
two or three to come together in Jesus name and worship him in spirit and in
truth.  Matt 18.20. John 4.24.
 
While big buildings are beautiful, they aren’t a necessity; so let’s not get
​wrapped up into big, magnificent buildings. Matt 6.19-21
