Bible Question: Does the Bible say anything about where we are to worship? And if we are to worship within our own communities. |
Bible Answer: I think that perhaps we should emphasize HOW we worship rather than where!But in answer to your question . . . So, of course we can worship anywhere . . . but . . . We must not forget the importance of "assembling ourselves together;" joining in worship with a local body of believers is pleasing to the Lord. We lift our praises and adoration of Jesus in unity and in harmony! Being in a local worshipping community is also important because in our union, we are able to minister to one another with the gifts that God has given for our individual and corporate edification. (See 1 Corinthians 12!) |
