Greetings all!
50-something wife and mom of two teen sons. Feeling a bit unmoored spiritually. A few years back our church starting leaning in a direction that I don't believe is Biblically sound, and we are without a pastor. Since the Covid era, I've struggled with finding a church home. I'm missing the teaching, fellowship and encouragement that comes with a church family so I'm looking for online gatherings. Looking forward to "meeting" you all.
Welcome to the mix.
I would offer the gathering together of families. Whenever two or three gather under the hearing of the gospel. The smallest denomination a family .. . . Christ is there. Washing his church with the water of the word the gospel
When more than one family gathers it is used as a ceremonial sign to the unbelieving world in a hope of drawing them thru prophecy as
it is written. And not a sign to their own self. like Aarons two sons who added to sola scriptura. and were consumed by fire
The believer's armor of Christ it defends us we care for it .
In that way two different kinds of gifts. . those who gather together to perform ceremonies as shadow of the things to come. And the missionary sent out two by two into the world.
Today with the internet we can in affect go out into the whole world with the gospel. Like this forum
Breaking fellowship with those like Nicodemus, the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, Venerating dying flesh it can be a call of God to repent and return to our first love Christ as Emanuel giving us his understanding so we can repent and do the first works of Emanuel. . believe Him with all our new heart and soul.
Revelation 2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;;I know
thy works, and
thy labour, and
thy patience, and how thou canst not bear
them which are evil: and
thou hast tried
them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found
them liars:And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.;Nevertheless
I have somewhat
against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love.;Remember therefore from whence
thou art f
allen, and
repent, and do the
first works;(Power to believe God not seen) or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent.But this thou hast, that thou
hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate
. He that hath an
ear, let
him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
Be careful how we hear who and what we say we do.
