Why We Gather
COVID-19 has changed our world forever; some for the good and some for the bad. When it comes to the church, COVID-19 has impacted us tremendously as we were forced to go to cyberspace (social media) and use technology to connect with our congregations like never before. As a result of almost 18 months or more, the majority of churches have been without in-person worship. While it only takes 21 days to develop a habit, just imagine what has happen with spiritual practices after a temporary disconnect from physical worship. Statistical research suggests that one-third of our churches have closed, and only 40% are returning to in-person worship. Nearly 33% are opting for online church from this point on, and many who don’t subscribe to online church have changed their attitudes concerning the importance of in-person worship. Can the church be the church online? Can we really choose, based upon the Bible, to opt out of physical church? How important is physical church and can’t we get the same thing online? These and many other questions are thoroughly examined in this marquee work on physical gathering and the Bible. You must read this book; your spiritual life and future maybe on the line. I was inspired by God to write this work for serious believers, church leaders, and those who are just biblically curious about why we gather as a church.
