The following two links are very informative, while sure to stir up controversy within His Church. Although, I believe it is essential to really chew on the content of both articles.
Pray on it.
Blessings to you!

I am just a man. Real. Raw. Transparent. I have lived through many battles within myself, as well as in my personal life. I continue to grow. For some reason, the great God of the universe has placed me within many positions that have caused great wonder within, and I continuously strive to embrace it. I spend my time thinking deeply about the many different obstacles, experiences and peaceful pleasures that come my way, sharing my journey as it unfolds. It has taken me many years to accept some hard truths about this life, myself and the people who are all around us. Join me as I go through the struggles, victories and lessons. I strive, succeed and fail to keep God through Jesus Christ at center, but I keep going. I hope that my words bring the reader encouragement, peace, joy, and a deeper appreciation for life. I also hope that we all recognize just how imperfect our realities are. May my writings bring someone, somewhere, thoughts that contribute to their own personal relationship with the Lord, and themselves. View all posts by D. W. Brewster
Both articles are interesting and yes Jesus did not call us to make a church but to love each other.

The religion industries sacred cow. The only One we need to be assembled to, is Jesus Christ. For salvation is found no one else.
Just a side note, I absolutely love cows, my favourite animal. The title and picture of this blog entry put a smile on my face Brother.
Blessings

These are interesting articles. I don’t fully agree or disagree with them. One thing is that Jesus did not abolish or do away with the law but fulfilled it. If the law still does not exist then there can no longer be any sin. Sin is breaking God’s law. The reason for following the law or any rule must be out of love, not out of duty. Love for what Jesus did for us. Not to earn salvation. Striving to follow the law because of what He did is showing love to God for what He did. Jesus followed the law and we are to be like Him.
I do agree there is no command to go to church, but I see no fault in it either. The building is not what makes it church, but the people in it. All the building is—is a place to meet together. There is nothing against that in scripture.
The article also said that we should be against the government to form a theocracy. Paul said to obey those in authority including the king, who was Roman at the time. Jesus never rebelled against the government.
These articles do make a person think.

Law and Spirit are absolutely opposed to one another. They are two different covenants and one of them has been abolished.
