The true body of Christ (Church) will go under ground "and yes" it will be very much like the first century church depicted in scripture, what we refere to as the "house church" today. (What we call traditional church) today will become the world church, the beast or dragon of Revelations.

"Religian" has played a bigger part in the up coming elections in the USA than ever before. Prominant figures from both camps religian and politics are crossing over to get a better edge ,to gain ground for their perceived benifit and the public at large is soaking it up like a sponge.

A great deal of what is called the "simple church" is nothing more than the common element of society getting a hand in religian.
Many, nothing more than "mini" institutional churhes hoping to grow into something bigger and the house church organizations uniting them to that end.

Am I saying the institution church is bad???? or the home church the answer??? Certianly not!!!! God has a place and purpose for each and every one one of us . Perhaps it is in the mega church ,maybe in a small obscure congregation meeting in some ones living room . The important thing is that each and every one of us are striving to do what our LORD intends for us as individuals when and where he wills. Not following in others doctrines or our owndesires or understanding ,but following the Holy Spirit in faith.

I'm done preaching now

This is the first time I've ever heard of a "simple church." I watched the first two videos and I can understand where they are coming from. I'm sure everyone has their own opinions and experiences, but I really love/enjoy my "traditional church."

I'm envolved with the youth and attend small groups in which we do many of the things mentioned in the videos. I guess I would have to attend one of these simple churches to really see what it's all about. I figure, if I feel the Holy Spirit leading me to attend a traditional church, and more importantly, work with the wonderful youth there...than I know I am in the right place.
