"One of the lies the devils have sold believers is the fad of "online church membership" or "e-church" as some refer to it. It is self indulgent and dangerous!
Christian character is forged in relationships within a local assembly. Doctrine, communion,mutual accoutability,pastoral care and nurture, spiritual grounding and perfection for the work of the ministry can only be achieved within the physical community and communion of the saints called the "local church" with spirit led and word ordered leadership!
If a blacksmith cannot forge steel over the television or internet, and physical parents, doctors, nurses teachers and lecturers are needed to attend to bringing in a child into this world and nurturing/training it until he can take his/her place in the society as a worker in the world system (I do not think anyone will want to have an e-parent, or e-surgery, or e-nursery for their children?)
So also, a believer needs parenting,nurturing,care, training and perfection in a regulated environment to fulfil his/her spiritual destiny.
We need to wake up to new testament patterns!
