A CHURCH’S BANK ACCOUNT AIDS IN FULFILLING THE COMMAND TO STORE UP (1 COR. 16:2)

A CHURCH’S BUILDING AIDS IN THE COMMAND TO ASSEMBLE (HEB. 10:25; 1 COR. 11:18)

WHY NOT? CHURCH GYMS? CHURCH HOSPITALS? CHURCH MOVIE THEATERS? CHURCH GROCERY STORES? WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?

THE KINGDOM OF GOD “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (ROM. 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (ROM. 14:17) “EATING & DRINKING” HAVE AS MUCH TO DO WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS THEY DO WITH “RIGHTEOUSNESS,” “PEACE” & “JOY” IN THE SPIRIT!

YET THE DENOMINATIONAL WORLD’S EMPHASIS IS ON “EATING AND DRINKING!” Ex 32:6, “Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. 1 Cor. 11 More than an abuse of the Lord’s Supper!
