Jesus teaches us in the Bible that a dedicated church is not identified by the clothes we wear, the house we meet in, the appearances we put on. A real church is nothing more than the gathering of individuals who believe in God’s word. Church takes place when we get together and put into practice the love and joy we've obtained from God. This sort of fellowship is illustrated in Matthew 18: 18-20 by saying:

 

“Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

 

We can get an image of the type of Church that God wants us to be a part of:

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10: 24-25

 

Would you like to be part of an assembly of people who "encourage love”, "help out" and “prays for one another”? That's the sort of congregation that occurs when you support God’s word and unite with others who share your faith. If you haven't found a church where that happens, take the opportunity to visit us at The Old Time Church.
