Churchwork

Through this forum we can discuss anything regarding the Scriptures, yet we always need to keep the bigger picture in view. The mission here is to gather the body of Christ - the Church - to fellowship according to the Scriptures wherein apostles do the work of appointed elders to take care of local churches. And by local churches we mean Biblical cities. And this does not mean marriage of state and church, but maintaining separation.
This objective will not be easy for it has been forsaken for approximately 1900 years.
This is the most important thing for the return of Christ. Unless we have this unity practiced in the body as it was in the first century, Christ has not what He needs for His return. He must return to the church in unity.
The only century where there was this unity was during the Ephesus church period. The other church periods did not have this ordering of apostles and elders. Even the Philadelphia church period did not abide in Biblical locality though they were deeply taught in the Lord.
The one missing link is Biblical locality. This is the purpose of this forum and the Meeting Place Finder for the Body of Christ to bring informal apostles together who have direct commission from God to set up the churches.
