Faith chat summary and scripture references
Within the body of Christ, there are serious disagreements among believers about how we should approach the idea of church. Some say you have to go to a local church; others say we have to go to church on Saturdays; and still others say you don’t have to go at all.
So is there a right way?
In today’s Faith Chat, I explore the concept that the Bible doesn’t give us a blueprint for a church structure, but rather a set of church principles. If we are stuck on debating the structure, we are missing the power and future growth of the church.
