Synopsis "We Need House Churches: An Entreaty to Call into Consideration the Need to Sell Our Church Buildings and Meet in Homes (in English)"
January 29, 2022: As soon as I woke up that morning, God told me in clear simple words, "We need house churches." It came out of nowhere. It wasn't on my mind the night before. It wasn't an issue I had thought about for a long time. After pondering the benefits of house churches, and the problems with modern churches, I quickly came to the same conclusion: We really do need house churches. In the early Church days, Christians met together in one of their homes. That is what I am talking about when I say, "house church." There are people who still practice that today, though some of them move on to establish a typical church building. It is so uncommon, however, that it has been perceived as historical. Thus, the original way of assembling together has become endangered. I am not the one to write a book unless it is absolutely necessary. In this case, it is crucial. I am currently writing on the same day I received this word from the Lord. This "word," however, is not my foundation for this book. I am not concerned if you have any question against whether I actually received a word from God. It is beside the point. What I want to point to you is what the Scriptures say regarding the message I received. This is not a theological defense. This is not a doctrinal assertion. This is a petition; a plea; a call to consider this issue with utmost diligence, humility, selflessness, obedience, and faith. It's an entreaty; an imploration to the Church of Jesus Christ to return to the original design of God, to the place where they have strayed away from. Pray, ponder, and seek God's direction on this. Please.
