Sooo what kind of church do you attend?

Yes, I'm sure many of you have encountered the question. I'm here to dispel the myth that Christ is only present in your church.....sorry. Where two or three and gathered in his name he is present.

You might benefit from knowing that the Acts 2 church, the first church ever, wasn't Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Seventh Day, Anglican,Episcopal  it wasn't Orthodox either. It wasn't protestant nor was it hesitant, it wasn't denominational nor was it non denominational. No it was just CHURCH!It was just the CHURCH, the BRIDE of CHRIST and if anybody spoke about the church no one would ask, "Excuse me Agrippa are you talking about the Methodists down the street or the Baptists by the river?" 

Christ didn't die for just the Methodists or just the Catholics, he died for his church. Matthew 16:18 Jesus says to Peter, "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The gates of hell shall not prevail against us Anglicans?No against his church!

Men are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

He paid too high a price for us to bicker and blab about who teaches what in which way and baptizes like how!Get your grip on church, our division and confusion is a stumbling stone to those who are looking from the outside in who want Jesus but, don't know where exactly in the 10001 variations he is found. We have to focus on the goal. The goal is Christ. The message is Christ. The way is Christ, yes Christ, not your denomination. Not the pope or the bishop either. Did I shock you? I bet! If you should have a denomination let it be Christ!Thus the word Christian.

If you trust in your denomination more than you trust in the word of God, who then is your God?

Acts 2:40-47 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
