It gives a certain sense of spiritual freedom not to be so concerned about pouring wealth into a plot of land. There are no great churches of the first century to visit because congregants did the same thing -- met in homes or used local synagogues.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-15387003743028595432011-04-18T09:20:45.047-05:002011-04-18T09:20:45.047-05:00What struck me most was the sense of living in the...What struck me most was the sense of living in the moment.

Jesus doesnt seem to mind as He shows up every time we meet. Funny we seem to have more money for stuff other than paying mortgages too.
