Let me say that again:
the church meeting is not the church.
You would think that
Christians who have already succeeded in grasping the biblical distinction
between “church” and “church building” would grasp this further distinction intuitively, and it may
be that on some level we get it. But if we measure knowledge of any truth by
the number of Christians who are living it out daily in a practical way, my
suspicion is that some of us have missed the boat.
