Hi there,
As regular readers will note I was invited to a church local to me sometime ago. Well today all things worked to enable me to visit, and what a welcome.
I was feeling slightly apprehensive as I pulled into the car park but all feeling of that vanished once I had introduced myself. We spoke as though we had known each other for years...I was home.
Songs were sung in praise of Jesus Christ and the wonderous things He has for us. What a sense of belonging, Fellowship. People from all backgrounds coming together to worship and praise His name. I felt a part of this church, His church. The sermon centred on Ephesians and dealt with sharing righteousness and relationships both those within the family and at work. It struck a cord with me and is something I will take into my daily life.
The Fellowship meets at varying times of the week in the home with activities ranging from Bible study to Intercessory meetings. I feel this is the essence of home church where the activities take place around the community with all coming together for worship on the Sunday. But this is real Faith with a capital F. The people are the church not the building. The congregation meets in a primary school.
So to finish where do I find myself? I feel contentment that the Lord is leading me along the path He has chosen. He has lead me to a Fellowship with other Christians to do His Work. He has lead me home.
Blessings.

you think Rosa is referring to the medieval catholic church. As I read the list examples came to mind of the same problems existing today or in our lifetime that are caused by religions of all strains not just catholicism. The way christianity and islam are moving in Africa at the moment make me think that it is about to go through its medieval phase.
