Hello Kainos Ktisis, WELCOME! I sincerely hope that you enjoy Christians Unite, and I look forward to having fellowship with you. It sounds like you need to try a different church. Many local assemblies still worship and honor GOD. If you have work that causes you to move frequently, finding a good local assembly to attend is a part of every move. It sometimes requires considerable effort, but it's worth it. Some are unable to attend because of health or other reasons, but there are other ways to gather - this forum being one of them. Fellowship with other Christians is encouraging, strengthening, and uplifting. 100% agreement in all matters isn't necessary to enjoy the benefit of gathering. Being IN CHRIST and belonging to HIM is what makes the difference. This difference can and should apply to all things in this short life with the sure knowledge that this world isn't our HOME. Where two or more gather in HIS NAME, HE is with them. Love In Christ, Tom MERRY CHRISTMAS! Luke 2:4-20 KJV And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable GIFT, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour Forever! |
