“That the Christians in the apostolic age erected special houses of worship is out of the question….As the Saviour of the world was born in a stable, and ascended to heaven from a mountain, so his apostles and their successors down to the third century, preached in the streets, the markets, on the mountains, in ships, sepulchers, eaves, and deserts, and in the homes of their converts, But how many thousands of costly churches and chapels have since been built and are constantly being built in all parts of the world to the honor of the crucified Redeemer, who in the days of his humiliation had no place of his own to rest His head!”
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Where Did Christ Lay His Head
Philip Schaff, Nineteenth- Century American Church Historian and Theologian
“That the Christians in the apostolic age erected special houses of worship is out of the question….As the Saviour of the world was born in a stable, and ascended to heaven from a mountain, so his apostles and their successors down to the third century, preached in the streets, the markets, on the mountains, in ships, sepulchers, eaves, and deserts, and in the homes of their converts, But how many thousands of costly churches and chapels have since been built and are constantly being built in all parts of the world to the honor of the crucified Redeemer, who in the days of his humiliation had no place of his own to rest His head!”
