MY CHURCH

The other day I was talking to someone I had just met and the conversation got
around to "Religion" and I was asked what church (they meant denomination) I
belonged to because the bent of my part of our talk made it obvious I was a
GOD guy.  Well, I answered "I don't go to church." They were taken aback by
this, and a little miffed for having mis-judged me as certainly a church goer. Well, I
responded to their surprise by stating that "I never step out of Church" and that
I was a "house" that GOD (actually the HOLY SPIRIT) dwells in, therefore by
definition, I am my own Church.  Blank stare.  About face.  Retreat.  Well, it's the
Truth and I could not say otherwise. We, those of us that have the HOLY SPIRIT
indwelt, would qualify as Tabernacles would we not?  That makes us a Church
even if there is only One member.  Do I miss a Church group?  In a way, but not so
much as to find comfort in one. I find the most comfort up on the mountain where I
take my "Church" with me.  I also find comfort in my kitchen where I have/enjoy the
most peaceful and enlightening conversations with my LORD and SAVIOR ( and my
Best Friend )  What about the "fellowship" we are told to have with other brothers
and sisters you may ask. Well, that's why I'm HERE, all the DOVES, you all are my
Fellowship...and it's confirmed by a recognition of the HOLY SPIRIT in your printed
words and your inspirations for them.  Heart to heart does not require a "face" or
fancy clothes. HIS WORD is given to us in print, and until we meet HIM face to face,
that, and HEARING HIS VOICE....(and my on-line fellowship) ..is just alright with me.
If this was not okay with the HOLY SPIRIT, I would find myself in church whether I
wanted  to be or not.  I don't "willfully" NOT GO to church....I haven't been LED TO.
So until I am, I will continue on as I have for the last 40 yrs.  Seek HIS VOICE !
