The purpose is to seek Christ in others and grow together into His bride. While home churchs and open churchs has some good points, the meeting is not the main issue.
The Parade
As I go down this spiritual river there is a parade of people that pass me by. Some I enjoy some I don't, some I love, some I fight, and some I share the Lord with. But there is one that never leaves, that is the Lord. His face may change, but the spirit is the same. Relationships are to restrictive for the Lord to restrict Himself to just one. He is bringing me in and out of many, each one showing me a different piece of Him. Not to let the Lord move us on to other relationships is not allowing Christ to continue giving us His riches. The Lord has too many fascists, like a diamond you can't just look at one spot, even though that spot may look wonderful, your must turn it to see it's full wonder. The Lord has put spiritual people in my life to show me Himself. I must stand and let the parade pass me by to see all of His wonders and not try to walk with the group I like the best. The Lord takes us from one part of Himself to show use another part of Himself.
Greetings Charles!
