What does your comment have to do with the posters’ re: education and the faith?

As far as meeting in houses, you will be... and it will not be in the best of conditions. Try looking around the globe where our brothers and sisters are getting raped, mutilated, killed, exiled and in some places, put into slavery. Get on your knees and thank God you can worship in freedom.

Yeah let’s meet in homes, set up homeschooling, adoption agencies, hospitals, soup kitchens there. When a kids thinking of abortion, shooting someone or slapped their mother, maybe they’ll see your house on the way and want to sit and spend time with the Lord.

How the Lord must be frustrated with us. Look at all who were and are still martyred.

How the Lord must be frustrated with us, INDEED. Taking the simplicity that is in Christ and turning it into a religious machine that has to be fed constantly. There is the gold to polish, and the ermine to store, and the artwork to repair, and the t-shirts and magnets and candles to re-stock in the gift shops. And the big, bigger, biggest buildings guaranteed to impress. Everyone except Him. Who loved us and gave Himself for us, that we might live unto Him. Not unto buildings. For man's approval and delight.

He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Not in a Mercedes.
