wrestling

Over the years i have spent a lot of time wrestling with the nature of church what it was, what it is, what it should be, always with various levels of frustration. I have in my time said that church as it is is irrelevant, that we should have youth church, oldies church, New testament church, but i have changed my mind, it could be my age/stage, but here is my wrestling. I know church is about people, not about a certain place, day and time. I know that there will come a day whne we meet in houses, and find ourselves under pressure (could be from anywhere). I know that for many church is irrelevant and dull, meaningless. And i know that a lot of what we do isn't strictly necessary to the formation of church. But i love that church, place day and time, Jesus loves the church in all its forms, it seems that those who object loudest to place day and time, are those who won't submit their diary to anything other than themselves, their tastes to anyone but themselves. God puts the orphans with families not groups of orphans, same with widows, there may not be any church with any profile at all, no gathering, no leadership, no servanthood, nothing, if we leave it to the freeform thinkers of this current generation.
