response to Organized -

I agree that many churches have made themselves like a country club or social club, and with their charisma they project Christ as a product, with attractive new ideas in order to impress and flatter people, which way is driven by secular principles and practices, that has no lot in Christ. Nevertheless, I would say that as the original Churches were for the most part, “in the Church that is in their house”, was yet organized to the extent, that an orderly discussion was conducted, even I´m sure, when there was debates of an issue; but what I loved about the original Churches was, that most often they lasted all the day long, because fellowship was that important to them at that time, whereas now, for some unknown reason, fellowships limit themselves to an hour or so; but it seems to me that it ought to be the priority in every professing Christians life, and our secular matters should have to wait behind Christ in all things! Churches in someones house is intimate, and surely brings fellowship close in each others mutual faith. Our Lord drew large crowds, and so did the Apostles, yet when they dispersed, they would always have a Church fellowship in their house.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
