Does Going to a “Church” Building on Sunday Mornings Constitute True “Fellowship”?

“Man, are we the only ones that understand this. I’ve experienced the condemnation from other believers because I don’t go to church. I’ve literally tried, but I’m afraid it’s just that bad. The condition of the Church is that far gone. I know not all churches are like this. There are some good ones but I don’t live around any of them.” Jeff Thomas

“Ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

WE are the church, the called out ones, is a better way of putting it. The “house” of the LORD has a much larger meaning than a designed “church” building, so called, usually run by wolves. The “house of the LORD” can refer to the presence of the LORD, not a physical meeting place.

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalms 27:4

In Psalm 27, there is no mention of other people or a certain dwelling place other than it’s the LORD David sought.

Seems like from the next verse that in the whole of God’s creation, He can and should be worshipped:

“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;” Acts 17:24

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

JUST WHAT FRUIT HAS SUNDAY MORNING CHURCH ATTENDANCE PRODUCED OTHER THAN COUNTERFEITS?

Where’s the evangelism? (Mark 16:15)
Where’s the daily teaching and fellowshipping in the Word? (Matthew 28:18-20)
Where’s the crucified saints? (Luke 9:23-24)
Where’s those diligently preparing to meet the LORD? (Revelation 19:7-10)

The proof is in the fruit. WHAT has the modern “church” so called produced other than a generation of self-serving counterfeits, just as the Holy Ghost foretold in 2 Timothy 3:1-7. One born again saint put it this way:

“Refusing to sit under the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves; is not forsaking the assembly.”

If the modern church is of God, is fulfilling God’s will, why is the fruit rotten?

Where is the message, the word, the divine command to “repent” ever heard in the modern church? Nearly never, right? Yet it is the first word, divine command of the original Gospel first preached by John the baptist, then Jesus, then the apostles (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21, etc.).
Where is the message of the cross, the crucified life preached by Jesus and His holy apostles? (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:10-12; Romans 6; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14, etc.).
Where is the evangelism? (Mark 16:15; Book of Acts, etc.)

Evidence you’ve been indoctrinated into churchianity instead of Christianity:

If you raise your hands in “church” but not at home
If you behave one way at church and another way at home
If you read the Bible in church and don’t devour it at home, on a daily basis
If you pray in church and don’t live a life of prayer daily

The most authentic, fruitful cross-bearing disciples of Jesus I know, do not attend a “church” on Sunday mornings. No, they obey Jesus by follow Him “daily.” – “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross DAILY, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it” (Luke 9:23-24).

Show me a Sunday morning “church” where the cross, the crucified life Jesus mandated is being taught all the time? No such thing. Case closed. False gospel. False “bibles.” False prophets.

Just because most pastors are false, in no way negates God’s mandate for each of His saints to fellowship daily with other believers (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 3:13; 10:25, etc.)!

Jon Crane writes:

“The church is also Acts 2:42-47. Where is the daily fellowship in these modern ‘church’ buildings? Where is the selling of their possessions (leadership and laity) and parting them to all men, as every man had need? Should not everything pertaining to the New Testament church be proclaimed?

Going once a week to a 501c3 state ‘church‘ to fund bigger buildings, bigger houses, luxury cars, private jets seems a bit Pharasaical.

Would I love to fellowship with true believers? Absolutely, and I do daily through social media and with a few in person. But, I will not be caught bidding godspeed to the mostly apostate church in America. 2 John 11

First repentance in the church (leadership), then perhaps God will restore the candlestick. Too many obeyed man rather than God in closing their doors, shaming Christ for fear of a virus, and showing the whole world what little faith they had and who really owned them! – the state! What Hypocrisy!

It is no wonder many did not return. Why would they seek any more help from such a place that had no real faith and obedience to man, not God who commanded His people to never cease fellowshipping!?”

Many who leave the organized apostate “church” do so, not because they are abandoning the faith but rather because they want to preserve their faith. We were told that in this last hour “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse” and that “MANY false prophets shall arise and shall deceive MANY” (2 Timothy 3:13; Matthew 24:11). So this truth of the remnant departing from the false prophets and false gospel and the “accursed” peddlers of it, should be no surprise.

“I have witnessed this apostay in the local church for over 30 years.” Thomas Cochran

Is it a sin to go to a place of fellowship on Sundays? No. Yet such is not an essential to salvation and to make it such is to err, is to miss the point of Scripture, is to overemphasize something the LORD never emphasized. True fellowship among the brethren is what matters, not the place or physical building. Jesus preached to the 5,000 men, right? WHERE? In the desert (John 6).

It’s the wolves of the modern church who indoctrinate people to believe that THEIR little mortgaged “church building” is the divinely designated “holy” place to be on Sunday mornings. Nonsense. Sounds pretty Catholic actually.

WHERE you fellowship or WHEN you fellowship is not an essential. The biblical nature and quality of the fellowship is what matters to God. No where does the Bible dictate that true fellowship MUST take place in a certain designated official “church” building. Fellowship is what is emphasized and not the day or location. Isn’t that what Jesus made clear when speaking to the woman at the well in John 4 when the woman sought to make worship about a geographical location? Yes.

“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:20-24

There is no stated necessity in the Scriptures to be at a certain church building on sunday mornings. Nowhere. Actually it’s the wolves who misuse Hebrews 10:25 for their own self-serving agenda while they refuse to truly teach the WORD and watch for the souls of the saints (Hebrews 13:7, 17). Therefore they do not qualify to be submitted to.

Does the Word Instruct Christ’s Disciples to Assemble? Yes.

“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 10:25

The earliest followers of Jesus didn’t wait till Sunday morning. That’s lame, right? Selah. No, they couldn’t get enough of Christ and so they gathered “daily” in the temple (Jewish and yet they were run out before long) and “house to house” (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42).

The “house” of God is the people of God, not a physical building or gathering at a certain time in a certain building.

To further develop this point, let us ask whether or not a penny was ever collected to build an official “church” building. The answer is No.

Good day saints. The Word never instructs God’s people to go to church but rather to assemble, to serve the LORD daily and to fellowship daily according to the simple biblical model, right (Hebrews 10:25)? I don’t think we could find 5 church goers who could give the Bible definition of true fellowship.

Personally, upon beginning to uncover these truths, I ceased telling anyone to go find a church, or to go to church…. and that’s due to the “MANY false prophets” we were often warned about, and most of what there is “manning” the pulpits of America’s apostate “churches,” which are more like entertainment centers, circuses with clowns conducting their so-called “services” (Matthew 24:11; 2 Timothy 3:13; 4:2-4). Of course there are still a very few who are in the truth – and use the real Bible, the King James Bible, etc. Very few. New “bibles” are all fake and the presence of such spells, equals apostasy (Revelation 22:18-19). The remnant are learning to feed themselves and those around them, worship God daily, equip the flock, and communicate the Word (Colossians 3:16). They don’t need a designated building to attend and put on a religious act. Sorry but that’s usually what it turns into. Sound like what Jesus told the false religionists of His day? Monkey see. Monkey do.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Matthew 23:15

The authentic remnant elect of Christ do not patronize false leaders. Refusing to sit under, condone, bid Godspeed to the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves of the modern church … is not forsaking the assembly! Instead, it’s obedience to God who mandates that we “mark them” and “earnestly contend for the faith” against them, and warns us that anyone who bids Godspeed to them will be punished with them (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3; 2 John 2:10-11).

“But exhort one another DAILY (not weekly), while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

True elders, pastors, etc., do NOT need a certain official so-called “church” building to conduct themselves as overseers. When Peter speaks of and to overseers in 1 Peter 5:1-6, there is no mention of a designated church building. That’s because it’s all about THE CHURCH, that is, the PEOPLE of God and not meeting weekly in a certain building.

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building… 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16-17

PRAYER: Father, in the name of Jesus, please teach us Your way – Your Word. Establish us in You, rooted and grounded in Christ. Bless us to discern between truth and half-truth lies. Wash me clean from all my sin – at the forefront of which is pride, selfishness, self-idolatry, rebellion, and lawlessness. I love You LORD Jesus. Please have Your way in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

DOES the Bible tell us to “Go make disciples” OR to “Teach others God’s Word”? Interesting. Does the Bible Ever Say “Go Make Disciples”?

Exhort One Another Daily [podcast]

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13 “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much […]

Neither Give Place to the Devil! [podcast]

“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 “This is a really good message!” CB — MANY have been blinded and duped to believe that either 1) there is no devil, or 2) there is a devil but he’s not active. But God’s Word tells us that Satan, the archenemy of Christ and mankind, is active and has an organized kingdom structure: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Warning: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as […]

Fulfilling Your Calling [podcast]

MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5. Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15).

Technology in End Times Prophecy

GOD foretold of the explosion of technology in the final days leading up to our LORD’s return (Daniel 12:4). The internet is a neutral medium of communication to be used by believers to teach the truth of God in fulfillment of Jesus’s Great Commission command. “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, […]

The Conquering Cross of Christ [podcast]

The LORD is Holy.

God will not share His glory with another, and least of all with carved images.” Believer’s […]

Sin: Man’s Core Problem [podcast]

People don’t have a “mental health” problem, they have a SIN problem and sin is what gives way, gives full access to Satan! “When people hear voices telling them to harm themselves or others, that’s not a chemical imbalance, it’s demon possession.” Rachel Gould “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jeremiah 17:9). “And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed […]

Dominating the Devil! [podcast]

Dominating sin and satan only comes to those willing to die and be buried “with Christ.” (Romans 6; Galatians 2:20) The result is His glorious resurrection in their lives and consequent victory over sin and satan! IS JESUS not the Answer? Yes He is….. let’s give the world around us that answer to man’s core dilemma – sin! Jesus is the only Solution! It’s the stated will of God that we walk in His victory – in the victory He provided through Christ. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians […]

Putting God First [podcast]

If God’s Word isn’t important to you, it’s because He isn’t important to you.

If anything comes before the LORD in your day, you are an idolater.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

GOD’s WORD cannot get into you if you aren’t into it.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Jesus commanded:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

As you seek God, putting Him first, you are not going to be able to prevent, to stop His blessings coming upon your life. 100%

Memorize this promise from your Savior, today.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

What putting Christ first looks like:

Prayer.

“Early will I seek thee.” Psalms 63:1

Read. Study.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. Job 23:12

The Bible is far from just amazing information (Psalms 119:98-100; 2 Peter 1:3-4, etc.). More important than vital information coming from our Maker, God’s Word is your spiritual food and without it, without daily ingesting it, you will famish, fall, and ultimately perish.

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Read that again: The only way to “grow” is to “desire” and to devour the Word of your great God and King Jesus. He made you to know Him (John 17:3).

The only way to keep, to guard your heart before the LORD, is to keep it full of God’s Word.

“Keep (guard, till the soil of) thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23

In fact, like Job, we must make the spiritual food of God’s Word more important than the food that fuels and keeps healthy our physical body.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart RETAIN my words: keep my commandments, and live.” Proverbs 4:4

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1

Find. Eat. Rejoice.

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Father please unite my heart to fear Thy name. Forgive my sins of spiritual adultery, of self-idolatry. Here and now I renounce my own ownership on my life. It’s Your life LORD. Reign on the throne of this heart and cut away, circumcise any and everything of iniquity in my heart and life. You must increase but I must decrease, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Nourished Up and Enduring to the End [podcast]

Recently a dear brother in Christ related this testimony to me of our LORD’s work in his life: “I had a ‘back to Jesus’ moment after the election. As I was horribly disappointed in our country and the dividing of even my own friends, I was praying: ‘I’ve lost faith in my country, I’ve lost faith in my friends…’ then it hit me… I had put my faith in the wrong things. It’s so easy to depend on others. But now I am trusting only in my Lord and Savior.” “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose […]

Victory Over “Evil Concupiscence” and Every Sexual Sin [podcast]

“Flee fornication”

“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20

“Concupiscence” appears 3 times in God’s Word and speaking of having a secret desire for that which is forbidden, namely in sexual lust.

“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.” Romans 7:8

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:” Colossians 3:5

“Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:” 1 Thessalonians 4:5

Revelation 19:7-9

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”

Colossians 3:1-6

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

Memorize Colossians 3:3

“Submerge yourself deeper and deeper into Jesus until you sink out of sight.”!! Unknown

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.”

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23

Read Psalms 51 and Romans 6 each morning.

PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive my many sins. Please touch this vessel all the way to the core of who You made me to be. Do Your work in this life You gave. Please unite my heart to fear Thy name and purify this heart O LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
