What's Left?
From Church Marketing Sucks via the Prodigal Kiwi:
If the electricity went out, and your walls fell down, and your biggest givers died, what would you have left? Would you have a community of people still seeking after the heart of God? Would you still worship even without a band? Would you still be able to learn about God even though you can't show a video or a PowerPoint slide? In other words, what you have when everything else goes away is what your church is really all about.
Read the rest here.
"Church" never was a reference to a building in Jesus time was it.
I love this quote.

We have silence and waiting for Holy Presence. That is all we have. This summer, when our meeting house was being renovated, we met under the trees in the burying ground beside the meeting house. It was awesome.

Wonderful quote! We would have those who desire to know God with the tools to follow him (hopefully).
No, church wasn't used back then but they still had the Temple so there was no need for a synagogue or church.
