meeting mentality

Humor me for a simple thought for the day. This came from a friend (Peg) in New Mexico.

A gathering is a tool where relationships happen.

The Christian church of our culture continues to labor under 1700 years of gravity that is hard to escape. The church has a "meeting mentality" that exaults itself as a end rather than a means. A friend recently said "if your goal is house church, that is all you will produce". Paul instructed Timothy that our goal was Love (relationships)(1 Tim. 1:5). I know for a fact that the human heart cries out for real relationships centered on Jesus. I'm all for gatherings that serve the function of fostering relationships with both God and fellow believers.

have a blessed day...
