Nothing in a church building will do anything for the Christian Faith. The commodities do not last, so here is a brief list:
- A building and land owned by a group of people.
- Special seating.
- Expensive clergy costumes and crowns (aka fish-hats).
- A person or parson reading a script guaranteed to increase the numbers.
- Food and beverages during the worship service.
- Training in plagiarizing various ridiculous fads.
- Earning a D.Min. in copying theories based on salesmanship and enthusiasm.
John 15 teaches what everyone ignores, ridicules, and rejects. Our little congregation will provide a lecture on this chapter - today at 11 AM.
Jesus is the True Vine. We only bear fruit in Him by clinging to the Vine.
