All tagged God’s Church

Have you ever attended church in a house? Is there a church that meets in your house? Over the millennia we have grown so accustomed to holding our services in buildings dedicated solely to our faith, that we seem to have forgotten that the early church typically met in someone's home. Even in times of persecution the modern church still retreats to the privacy of homes. Perhaps if we did this every so often it would take the feeling of formality, and place, out of our worship, and put the intensely personal sense of maintaining a close and loving relationship with God back into it. Inviting someone into your home is a very intimate gesture, and hosting Jesus, and God makes it Holy.

One of the questions that I am asked all of the time is about the Holy Spirit. Everyday Christian believers ask me this because they desire to know about who He is, and what He means to them and their faith, and many Pastors ask to determine what side of the fence I am on. Like Jesus He fascinates and enthralls us, brings us to a place where we feel the coolness of the inhale, and the warmth of the exhale as God Himself breathes, and yes, He scares us, and that fear often separates us from one another.
