2.7-
Church, as we know, is people, not a building. Our congregation has met in a Tabernacle sheet metal shed and now a brick building.
We see this after a fire or tornado destroys the building. I remember going to the meeting at times in a wagon. I can still see the coal burning pot belly stove in the middle of the room.that provided physical warmth. The spiritual warmth was from men and women and children that loved to be together. My start with Oak Ridge church was 1946, but it started in 1879.
You don't any money to attend. No tickets are sold to attend an event for learning and worship.
The warmth is still the feeling of love. acceptance and challenge to grow stronger. Regardless of our age our zeal starts too cool off and we need to be refired up for love of God and people.
There is a secret, perpetual and alarming rebellion that exists in the hearts of all people who have been followers of God for a long time. A war in the heart and soul between good and evil continues.
So last night I was able to experience the warmth of Oak Ridge in the Wednesday night meeting through Zoom.. Thankful.
Acts 2.
43 [at]Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and [au]signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all the believers [av]were together and had all things in common; 45 and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread [aw]from house to house, they were taking their [ax]meals together with gladness and [ay]sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to [az]their number day by day those who were being saved.
