Obviously He does "meet" people there or He wouldn't be calling them out of there. If they hadn't met Christ they wouldn't know His voice.
People do not “meet” him at church.
We meet him when and where the Father calls us.
“Church,” as it has been for the last 1800 years, is not a part of his kingdom.
His true church has met “wherever,” and his few, the elect, do quite nicely outside of that circus.
Joel Osteen, David Jeremiah, and Rick Warren may ‘feel’ otherwise, as they guard the wide path.
