1 Corinthians 11:17-22

¹⁷In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

¹⁸First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

¹⁹And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

²⁰Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

²¹For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

²²Don’ t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

Sitting in the Hen House Doesn't Make You a Chicken

Article by Steve Ridgell

Just like sitting in the hen house does not make you a Christian, sitting in the church house does not make you a Christian. Church is about so much more than just showing up. It is about being with God.
