Church Life

CHURCH - IN OR OUT


The Holy Spirit does do that blessed work of God especially on some blessed people who are part of a church as they gather in church. It is remarkable how important being part of church life is even still today. People drop church out of their lives these days often citing hypocrisy of church people as their reason. The sad thing about that is they are not wrong - hypocritical churches are a bane of our times. Often people go to church much of their lives - decades - never hoping to see the Holy Spirit working like scriptures say He worked in ancient times. Yet for some who are receivers and doers of the purest gospel there are times of refreshing to their souls in their churches where if you look closely and with discernment you might be able to see that God is there like He was in times of the Christ’s first apostles like scripture recorded. Yet even outside of such churches - so many lack a chance to go to such churches - still the Holy Spirit works the blessings of Christ - especially in occassional groups of kindred believers coming together socially but sometimes when believers are on their own too. Elijah was all alone but still heard the still small voice. Elishah had plenty of kindred company of prophets and saw endless miracles but Elijah is the one who stood at Jesus’ side on the mountain of Christ’s transfiguration along with Moses surrounded by apostles.
