It was Pastor Bonhoeffer whom the Nazis murdered spoke of religious Christianity, what did he mean by that?.I just read an interesting article as regards those people who do not meet with God's people in the church building.Most of you will realize that the building that Christians meet in is not the church,it is a building in which the church meets.People say,' I do not have to go to church to pray',they have a mind set that if one examines does not make sense,it is based on unintentional ignorance. As Christians most of us do our praying outside that building were the church meets.During the times of the Soviet Union when Christians were persecuted they often met in the open air,likewise in some countries the church meets in peoples homes likewise Christians would meet in the catacombs in ancient Rome.The church of Christ should not be seen as a building ,but as a people who know Christ as their Saviour. But of course fellowship for the church is important for many good reasons,mutual support,public worship in singing to God's praise,and also hearing the word of God ministered,and many other things.To neglect meeting with Christians in that way is not helpful for your spiritual well- being, of course it is just part of what helps us spiritually, but it is a very important part,and we neglect it to our cost. Bonhoeffer when he was in prison said that one the of things he missed most was having fellowship with God's people.
Hebrews 10 v 25
' And let us not neglect our meeting together as
some people do'
