The focus of the early church, contrary to what many are now asserting is laid out for us in Acts 2:42 - "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."<BR/><BR/>These things are not "seeker sensitive" or "purpose driven", and they are certainly not outreach motivated. The gathering of the saints is for edification and equipping for ministry that happens outside of the gathering time.Dan Cormiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415220173268277938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20493920.post-27134030417614970612009-01-20T23:02:00.000-08:002009-01-20T23:02:00.000-08:00... to stop going to church and to start being the...... to stop going to church and to start being the church!
