The Church Gathering the way God Taught
When the church gathering is in a home, there are no taxes to be paid, no upkeep or expensive repairs or maintenance, no programs people are expected to attend or donate to, and no salaries that detract from giving to the needy and elderly in the gathering.
When the gathering is in the home, everyone there is edified, and everyone participates.
When churches are in homes, the people are connected and concerned for one another. Everyone participates, and the leader is the Holy Spirit.
All money gathered goes directly to those who need it and for evangelism. Each family takes care of their own finances and gives freely from their own coffers for important needs, not play or entertainment.
There is always money available for visiting ministers who must travel.
When the church meets in the home, the government is not in control through any strings that might keep them monitoring what goes on in that place. The government has no part in the finances and proceedings.
When the people meet in homes biblically, they do not look to one man who acts as an authority over anyone else. The leaders are several, and they lead by example and teaching.
God's way is always best. When man thinks they can help God out by doing things their own way, they ALWAYS mess things up, pervert truth, and make rules God never made.
Galatians 5:1 "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
John 8:36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
I see a return to Biblical home gatherings to some extent as people see the perversion of "religion" overtaking most church gatherings today. There is much ritual, but they don't recognize it as ritual.
I hear lots of people complaining that they feel no connection to the church they had been attending, and opted to stay at home with their families or others who felt the way they did.
It is the remnant believer who is finding it hard to find a gathering that is Biblical and speaks of Jesus Christ frequently.
The best thing for any believer to do is to ask for wisdom from the Holy Spirit, question all things, and pray for discernment to know what to do next. The Holy Spirit will speak boldly to anyone who loves Christ and wants to know.
