The word that is incorrectly translated as *church* in the Bible is really the word for *assembly* or *called out ones*.

True believers ARE the church, and where ever two or three are gathered together, Jesus promised to be there in the midst. Nobody needs to go somewhere to worship God any more. Nor does anyone have to go through certain ceremonies and rituals to have church. People can worship anywhere and any time with other believers and they have not forsaken the assembling of themselves together.

We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. It’s *Christ in you, the hope of glory* and Christ dwelling in our hearts. We carry this treasure in jars of clay (our bodies).

Yes, the point I made is the church isn’t the building its the people. People need and are instructed to gather and worship God.

Someone who thinks they can sit at home by themselves as their sole source of worship are mistaken.
