We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.

Perhaps many of you, like me, know of believing brothers and sisters for whom the internet has become their church, and they rarely, if ever attend meetings where they meet with other believers in person.
