You can attend a large church, house church, small group, be in a marriage, friendships, etc...and still have no FELLOWSHIP. Better to have FELLOWSHIP with one than be in a room filled with people, and find yourself alone.
@lauralynn so true.I have had more fellowship outside a church building then inside. I'm hoping to see that change.
@lauralynn id actually like it to be everywhere even in a church building
The Church is a fellowship of equal partners.
Fellowship requires #GoodRelationships. If there are no sound relationships then fellowship suffers. If relationships are absent then fellowship will not exist. (Taken from Strength Renewed https://ireade.page.tl)
Hi Laura. This year my goal is to be 1 Peter 4:7-11.
@lauralynn Most churches fail miserably at this. Acts 2:42 best describes this. It is one of my "pet peeves". For me it only happens in one on one meetings, in home churches, where two or more or gathered, or in men's meetings where this is purposed. Almost never in the hour of power we call church in the US. Frank Viola covers this subject well in his book REIMAGINING CHURCH.
Very true Laura. Sadly there are churches in this world where before lockdown, it was possible to walk in and out again without any interaction. @lauralynn
