Good thoughts. I had never associated Joshu...Mark,<br /><br />Good thoughts. I had never associated Joshua 24:15 with an expression of church, but see your point. As you say, "when the whole church (all the saints in an area) comes together is a picture of the church"--the church was never meant to be something static, but on the move. This is becoming clearer and clearer to me with each passing day.J.

(We should assemble where the Lord leads us to assembly, and with whom, according to the purpose He has with us.)<br /><br />A Spirit-led people will act differently than a people of routine. <br /><br />(This is not to infer that we don't need some consistent, deep spiritual relationships in our lives with other stable men and women in the faith.)<br /><br />PeaceMark Fingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284228452263318834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-69200001814421251452010-01-29T21:27:20.083-05:002010-01-29T21:27:20.083-05:00Excelente!
