1 | What are your church expectations? | Heb 10:25 | Belmaree | 29772 | ||
Charis! What encouragement and hope you have given me! Thank you for the Zecheriah and the Matthew scripture! That is awesome!!! For sure righteousness outweighs anything my flesh or this world tries to convince me of! Truely amazing too is how we are One in Christ, and it has little to do with geography! I am astonished you are in Japan and I am in US. What a wonderful God we have! He never ceases to bring joy to me every single day. God bless you! I am revived and filled with joy once again. Joy and peace be yours in Christ. Belmaree |

2 | Can we worship outside of our community? | Heb 10:25 | Belmaree | 29744 | ||
I am hearing and listening and you are speaking well of what the local church and being in a local church is to be. We have a study group that meets in our home and they are the ones I depend upon if trouble/crisis arises. We so need a local church here in Westville, Indiana that is Bible believing, Christ centered and teaching. I have seen too what you say about the people that leave to follow a pastor or leave because they just don't like the pastor! We stumble over blades of grass at times. The core problem with me is finding a Christ focused church in our community. There are none. So we have ventured out to a town nearby that is right on track. I am hoping that God will lead us to start a group of believers meeting every week to Praise the Lord, receive a teaching, worship God and commune with other believers. The will of God is always to uplift Jesus Christ! That would be unique in this community. The town consists of a Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist and Catholic church. Not one of them preaches Jesus Christ but preaches there own doctrine. Belmaree |

Yes, I think too that there is more concern for membership numbers, money, prestige etc in the church and personally I have seen the mainline denominations fall head long into the trap of false teaching and wrong thinking. I agree that it would be better to sell our home and move nearer a Christ Centered, Bible teaching church than to go without! How blessed we are to be able to travel as we do. Is it unreasonable to think that the early believers met because the Lord was with them and it didn't matter where they were in terms of geography? Wouldn't it be better to meet in your own home than to gather in a place that does not know the Lord Jesus Christ? Praise be to God we know the answer to that one! Belmaree |

5 | Can we worship outside of our community? | Heb 10:25 | Belmaree | 29672 | ||
Yes, it has always been a battle to keep the church pure, even from the very beginning. I didn't state myself very well. The problem I have seen here is people insisting that we be in a local church NO MATTER WHAT...drives me crazy! I was looking for biblical truth to support their views and of course have come up empty. | ||||||

Right on Joe! The criteria you list for church is right on! And exactly what we searched for and found. It is so true too, about worshipping within the community because they are your neighbors. I am convinced that God is working on a small group of us to eventually bring the real church here. It is awesome!!!! |

Joe! I agree, I am sure after doing some research that there is no direct command to worship in your community. I got to thinking too that the local churches back then were a group of believers unlike today where corruption rules in many so called "churches". It seemed ridiculous to my mind that we should worship in our community even if the Word of God and Jesus Christ is not lifted up there. |
