RE: Voices: Are houses of worship essential? A look at the science
In response to the question about whether or not physical church plants are essential to our lives as we seek to worship, the answer is, “No.”
Anyone who truly is a Christian will worship our Savior wherever they find themselves. God cannot be confined to a building. He lives in our hearts.
It does make life easier relationally, but a building is not essential.
The peace and comfort we derive from God most likely does affect our physical health, because it relieves us from a lot of stress that does tend to affect our physical being.
I love to meet with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, but we can do this anywhere we so desire.
