It is expressed when there is a conscious effort to act for the glory of the Church's Head.<br /><br />It is not determined by any location, building or hiding place in a forest where it is usual for us to gather. Its privileges are enjoyed only as the Lord Himself is the focus of our thoughts rather than concern to follow any routine except that we do what He asked us to do. The order or timing of our acts of obedience are not His concern. We could break the bread and drink of the cup at any time during our gathering. It is convenient to us to do it more or less at the same time each week, but there is no rule that we must follow in order to be more pleasing to Him. He had simply asked we take the bread and wine in remembrance of Him. <br />Tertiusnoreply@blogger.com
