Family: The First Expression of House Church

"Foundational to all theory on the biblical concept of family is the Jewish teaching that the home is more important than the synagogue. In Jewish tradition, the center of religious life has always been the home."

What if the picture to the right is actually a picture of a church? What if a marriage is potentially the ultimate CO2 (Church of Two)?

Check out this post from Kathy from Richland Hills, Tx:

“My Co2 partner is my husband who has in the past couple of months has been spending everyday with the Lord, as he has been unemployed… In a nut shell, God has been moving mightily in his life during this down time and has changed his heart in such ways that it’s moved him to tears. He said this is what he’s been praying for and God’s given it to him. Before now, I would not have been able to have him as a Co2 partner. In fact, we missed our prayer time yesterday, and he pointed it out to me. This is a MAJOR MAJOR change in my husband and I really need some strong Co2ers in my area to hook up with… Thank you for offering this October challenge and inviting me to join in…. ”

Check out this from Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith by Marvin Wilson: “Foundational to all theory on the biblical concept of family is the Jewish teaching that the home is more important than the synagogue. In Jewish tradition, the center of religious life has always been the home.” (p. 216)

The marriage, and then the family, is the first and most foundation expression of church.  This is at the core of the house church concept.  If this one biblical concept was restored, I believe America would be transformed as a nation. Your thoughts on this? (click “View Comments” to post)
