Yeah, I need to start going to church. I really don’t like people (only because if I’m being honest, no matter what I do or how I act, I’m extremely insecure and socially awkward), and they usually end up disliking me. There’s something about insecurity that people find untrustworthy, or uneasy, so they’re not quite knowing what to do with me and I totally get it. I completely understand it. But my point of going to church is to build confidence, not just with other people but with Christ. It’s this horrible catch 22 I can’t seem to escape. I’ve had some church hurt before and I don’t blame Jesus for it, but sometimes it’s easier to just stay home.

Mike, PLEASE help me with this one. I understand the difference between chattel slavery and indentured servitude. But, what about Exodus 20:20-21, speaking of striking your slave with a rod? It's okay, as long as you don't kill them?

Good Teaching. brother. We are all guilty of being too proud to reach out sometimes. But praise, God, that's why the body of Christ the church is there for us.

Amen. Today people don't talk to one another, they don't have patience, and it's like everyone has a bubble around them. And don't get closer than 6 ft to them. COVID trained them well. You can even sneeze without people looking at you like you have ebola. God bless Mike, and peace be with you and your family.

I agree that Christians need fellowship, accountability, and other believers around them. Where I disagree is turning that into “you need to plant yourself in an established church.” House churches are biblical. Christians gathering and doing life together is biblical. Stephen even reminds us in Acts 7 that “but the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands". The Church is a gathering of people, not a building or institution. And I especially think about the homeless. Instead of telling someone who just met Jesus, “Now go find a church home,” maybe the Church should go find them. Sit with them. Feed them. Pray with them. Disciple them. Be the Church where THEY are. I'm all for gathering with believers. I don't believe Scripture limits what that gathering has to look like. We are so quick to forget C-19 days. Buildings were no longer open to us, yet the Church continued without the buildings. Mike, your example of your pastor giving you a gift to get presents happens often. People pay for other people's groceries, meals, bills, etc., and that doesn't negate it just because it didn't come from a pastor in a church building. That's the point of the gospel.

I agree that fellowship is important, but I strongly disagree with the idea that choosing not to gather is mainly about avoiding accountability. That is far too simplistic. We need to be honest about the reality of the modern church. How many leaders have used Christianity to advance their own agendas, manipulated people, and abused the trust of their followers? Simply being part of a church does not automatically mean someone is in a healthy or biblically sound environment. There have been countless times when the Lord has helped me and some of my friends recognise toxic churches, false teaching, and doctrines that were not grounded in Scripture. In those situations, leaving was not about avoiding accountability—it was about remaining accountable to God and His Word. Discernment matters. There are times when God removes people from environments that are spiritually harmful so that they can be brought back to the truth of Scripture. We should not blindly remain somewhere simply because we are told that attending church is always the right thing to do. And attending many different churches does not necessarily mean someone has been exposed to sound biblical teaching. Many people have spent years in churches where leaders themselves were teaching traditions, opinions, or doctrines that were not faithful to Scripture. So the real question is not simply, “Are you gathering?” The real question is, “What is being taught when you gather?” What is the church actually teaching today? Is it teaching Christ, Scripture, repentance, faith, and obedience to God? Or is it becoming increasingly focused on traditions, denominational doctrines, personalities, programs, and the opinions of men? There are far too many conflicting doctrines and traditions being taught in churches today, while the centrality of Christ and the authority of Scripture can be pushed into the background. Fellowship is important, but fellowship without truth is not enough. Gathering together is not the ultimate goal—Christ is. Scripture is. Truth is. We should never prioritise belonging to a church over remaining faithful to Christ and grounded in His Word.

Show me a church that opens its doors to the homeless. Show me a church that preaches Jesus’s own words more than their own interpretations. Show me a church that doesn’t shun sinners but instead embraces them and prays for them. Haven’t found one anywhere near me yet. Not one. Not a single ONE!!!
