Or we failed the Church…… the Pastors flock need to follow Gods law and not always what the Pastor preaches.
Well, when the church locks the doors and cancels services, it's a fairly strong message. And when the greater church's supports child mutilation as a follow up to locked doors...
Sad but true Fren but WE are the church. A building made of wood and stone does not make a church. God is in control and the plan is already written.
Bingo! We are the church.
True its not a building made of wood and stone. But its also not just isolated believers and their bibles scattered throughout the land. The Church = "the assembly" = the gathering together. Which presupposes elders, deacons, preachers of the Word, all in service to the corporate life of the body, organized worship service conducted in peace and unity, and accountability in Christian discipleship both as individuals and in a corporate setting. Lone ranger Christianity (much of American evangelicals) doesn't really exist in the New Testament anywhere.
I hope a lot of church leaders learned from 2020 and in hindsight see things differently. If something similar happens again, I'm optimistic that more churches will remain open and resist because their leaders learned from their mistakes.
