BIG church

Personally... I am heading toward the smaller church. I don't believe a Christian should go where he can fit in and not be noticed / recognized. Big mega churches... I don't get 'em. I believe "all in one accord" means ... among other things.... we are all together in the Spirit because we know one another, we know what one another believes, we know why each of us is here - to Glorify the Father and His son, through the power of the Spirit, we know one another's needs, we know every one here is a believer-not a pretender, we know this because we truly fellowship.

I do not believe "seeker sensitive" services have any place in the life of a church. The fellowship (what others call church gathering / building) is for believers. The harvest is OUTSIDE the church. Sadly the believers think "bringing in the sheaves" means bringing the lost into the building so a staff person can tell them about the wonderful love of the Father and the same staff person can lead them to salvation. The harvest is white OUTSIDE in the fields. Each believer - lay and pastor - is to go into the harvest fields. We are to go and tell, not bring and listen. Seek and save, not sit and soak.

2 Cor. 6 - 14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?

15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
