The only time the church will be perfect is when Christ returns. Attending a church that teaches straight from the Word is crucial, and as the bible states, we should not forsake the assembling of the saints. <BR/><BR/>I think someone mentiones that Satan loves it when we cut ourselves off from the body of hrist. That is so true; we are so vulnerable when left to our own devices, we become susceptible to false teachings.NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595293526265619569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639419105393692908.post-88525147889726887402008-01-19T21:56:00.000-05:002008-01-19T21:56:00.000-05:00Very true.

It does always seem that a few people have to carry the weight of the church because people don't serve where God designed them to. God loves the worship of his children wherever they are, home, or church, but He designed us to be a part of the body and we miss out on His best if we just stay home.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367193848669675641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639419105393692908.post-53669288592629229022008-01-19T16:49:00.000-05:002008-01-19T16:49:00.000-05:00You nailed this down girl!
