What About Church Buildings? Gathering Still Biblical!?

What About Church Buildings? Gathering Still Biblical!?

From: The Good News of the Kingdom

In these latter day end times many believers are able to come up with a long list of excuses not to assemble for Public Worship services; but, be assured, it is still biblical and an urgent need for the survival of any community. (Many verses say God roots out the wicked & only the righteous will remain. Don’t miss out on the benefits of the righteous!)

One of the greatest expressions of loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself is achieved in a congregational & corporate worship setting for, in-depth, united Christian prayer, Bible Study, Praise in Song, Fellowship and volunteering:

Psalms 22:22 "I will declare Thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee." Psalms 116:14 "I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people."

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

CHURCH GATHERINGS ARE STILL BIBLICAL!

While, not to forget, an all important aspect of the church is all believers worldwide (called the body of Christ); we're going to discuss some Biblical aspects of making a local place of Assembly & Worship a priority in our outward evidence of Christian love.

Christians have been the light & preserving salt of good in the earth. Everywhere our people have gone and thrived is where we put a church as the center of our towns. In the perilous days of the 1500 & 1600's, church worship was held in higher importance than a television set in today's homes. It was so important to the people that countless legislations were put in place to protect the free exercise of the only imaginable religion of the time. The resulting regional & national prosperity & blessings from on high have had cataclysmic effects on the kingdoms of evil & darkness as well. Corruption could not exist in these areas of high Christian Cultural Society where the Bible and integrity were the foundation stones of the land. Local judges used Bibles for more than just swearing in. It was the guide for law and sentencing in every court until the civil war period. (The reason our courts started the tradition of saying “all rise” when a Judge enters the room was originally because the Judge would walk in carrying the Bible.)

These blessings go back to our ancestral father Abraham. Wherever he ventured it was most important to him to setup an altar to God, even in the midst of the Canaanites (notice he never tried to convert them Genesis 12:6-7, 13:4, 21:33. He called them “not of our kindred”, commanding his sons not to intermarry with them. This may explain today why Christendom has only been European for over the last 2,000 years.) All the way through the pages of the bible we see a great importance placed on a place for public worship services.

Recorded over millennia, our people have also sought to consecrate special places for their same one God of Abraham and have flourished. The flourishing is all due to the graces of Jesus Christ who freely blesses His Christian people in the earth. No one can debate the fact our ancestral lands of Christendom are still dotted with many thousand year old churches, STILL STANDING IN GOOD CONDITION which are 1,500 years old and older. (the places the of which the whole world says are the most BLESSED; so everyone wants to flood our borders to share the blessings without joining themselves to Jesus or His law).

The whole world calls these nations “the richest peoples” but we get our surrounding blessings only by the good graces of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and additionally for being of the pure seed of promise. What most don't realize is what we mostly have is spiritual riches and overcome all the worst odds through Jesus. As we know all the early settlers of America gave up everything to risk their lives under the most perilous circumstances of savage attacks and untamed land. There was no electricity, etc, like the modern migrant has today. Our people risked everything for freedom to practice this one faith of Christianity of our conviction. The only justification for such perilous risks was for freedom to practice Christianity as their hearts were convicted by the Spirit to obey Jesus. The earliest state constitutions of America all used the phrases of “Jesus Christ” and His law. The blessings that followed continued on for the last 230 years, as every good thing comes from God. Recognizing Jesus is the only way to God, that explains why Christian nations were so blessed. Evidence is how our people have always put up the great Church altars throughout the lands unto our God.

Drastic results are evident when this religion is undermined or replaced entirely by the floods of ethnic & cultural aliens, who now under the immigration act of 1965 and the Non-Ratified 14th Amendment can claim man-made “rights” to God’s divine blessings. Third world peoples since 1965 are now permitted into our lands. Europe around the same time also started their “guest worker” program, for the first time letting in the third world ethnic cultures & religions to have access to our divine inheritance.

They don't realize our people have always been of small towns and hardworking. Most slaves in early America were white (Biblical Slavery, Indentured Servants ) since our culture has always respected hard work. Most people today would wrongfully call the majority just poor farmers. In reality farmers are the rich, and one day with all the food shortages, they’ll be the richest. We always built our own houses, farmed our own crops, stored our own food, were discrete, separate from worldly affections such as money. We were happy with the fruits of our labor, with Jesus and our quiet life of peace, separate from the world as commanded by scripture.

Yet alien floods are coming here for selfish reasons only, (not risking all for Christianity) and their beneficiaries have campaigned to impose a destruction of all cultures through mixing. We seek to preserve all cultures but this is not allowed by the Central Bank profiteers that are behind all the wars of history. Since the immigration acts of 1965, they imposed the first ever open third world immigration standard where these financial players in media and every area of enterprise make us meat for them to eat, feeding solely on immorality and off the destruction of all things good and decent of our Christian culture. (Yet they cannot prevail over a Christian who has faith in God, for all things are possible to them that believe.)

Now, very few corners of our lands are safe places to raise children due to the tearing down of our cultural & historic faith. One example is how black Islam rooted out all the original inhabitants of Los Angeles, Detriot, and Washington DC. (Which they themselves proudly proclaim they did WITH VIOLENCE AND GUNS. Muslims around the world celebrate this as a great Muslim Jihad victory for Islam and their conquest against Christendom). Now 30 Million illegal aliens from Mexico have moved into all these cities to utterly remove any remnant scraps. Even American suburbs have become these deathtraps, totally against the biblical model and common sense towns in the rest of the world, such as European modeled towns. “Woe unto them that build house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place..” (Isa 5:8)

The promise of our seed remaining & being established in the earth while the wicked are rooted out is all held together by small town church communities and down to the Biblical families. God’s word and the test of time has proven such. Many Government Empires have come and gone but the Christian church remains as well as the small community’s families that comprise it. Pagans & Atheists die out from lack of children and unhealthy lifestyles. While Christian Families who follow the bible, will multiply, prosper, and replenish the earth.

It is evident to all why our people are blessed, and what is the blessed quality of our “cities of Jerusalem” (Isa 2:14-17). Many early visitors to America commented on the beauty of our worship and preaching to live by the laws of our God, the Eternal Jesus Christ. Again, history repeats itself; that our people are collectively punished for their disobedience. Yet God works this all out for His own will; His people are brought low only so that they might be exalted. Obeying the decree to not forsake the assembling of ourselves, will be very rewarding. Keeping the Sabbath is one of the highest commands with the highest rewards.

Hbr 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,....”

Hbr 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

Eph 5:27 “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Luk 12:32 “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Mat 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

Pro 2:21-22 "For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it."

The good news is the wicked will be raptured out of here, and the righteous will remain in the land.
