Where God Makes Men
The local church is where God transforms purposeless lives. Not outside it.
Matthew 9:36
[36]But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
The above verse is the best description of christians who have rejected pastoral services over them.
We can only have compassion on them and still continue to help them come to the knowledge of the truth like Jesus did here.
Sometimes you can even be in the Church but yet you're still a sheep without a shepherd because you've not allowed your Pastor to lead you through his teachings and instructions.
One major way God leads us is through pastoral ministry. Rejecting it is rejecting God's will and work in your life.
There are things God can't do for you until you're part of a Church and submitted to its leadership. You can't truly grow spiritually without a local church. You can't become all God wants you to be without a local church.
The local church is God's factory on earth. It's where He is building men through the shepherd over each house (assembly).
Don't be in Church yet you're a sheep without a shepherd.
