Before the Altar part 2
One could then say that our fellowship is the most important element in our worship. But is this so? Is fellowship the only thing that is important? Should I fellowship for fellowship's sake? If I do that, I will be disappointed, most certainly and I could endanger my soul. (Galatians 6:1-2) I could do what Sir Thomas More warned against A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, and consider if I fellowship now for fellowship's sake would I be willing to go to hell when that similar fellowship involves something shady, just for the sake of fellowship? I must remember that Christ is the root of my fellowship. That He is the one who will direct my paths. (Proverbs 3:5) and brings others into my life so that I will not be alone. The sole purpose for the church is to learn what our relationship with God. What OUR relationship with God is, collectively, to fellowship, surely, but commemorate why we are here to begin with. The church as it is evolves in several media, first at the temple. Then the Christian got away from the temple and worshipped in houses (Acts 20:7, Romans 16:5, 1 Corinthians 16:19, Colossians 4:15, Philamon 1:2) because homes were safe havens, and smaller groups fit in more locations. The work of Christ could be spread even further.
