Inside church or Outside church???

My mind comes up with these strange ideas at times. Today is one of those days. I was reflecting on meeting yet another homeless man in the park yesterday when I decided I needed to clarify which church I would be attending today, inside church or outside church.

Inside church normally is held on Sundays, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night, depends. Inside church is also held on Wednesdays in some areas, and even Saturdays in others, like those fancy dancy high powered praise services. (Sometimes I like them, when I need a worship buzz or high. Not too often, gives me a headache.) There are other times inside church is held, but mainly those are the times, Sunday being the numero uno tiempo.

So then, when is outside church held and where???

I almost forgot to mention that inside church is most specifically reserved inside four walls and a roof, sometimes AC is in working order, heating in the colder months, and sometimes there is free coffee and donuts, yum. There are other places to find inside church as well, home bible studies work well and schools are sometimes rented for inside church and even a workout gym or theatre too.

Outside church, so where is it held and when? Okay, this is a tough question. Anywhere outside the four walls and anytime. Wherever a Christian or two or three are, that could be called outside church. In fact, you don't really need that many Christians to have it. You can have some people who are not Christians, maybe you can call them pre Christians. (I heard that word the other day, kind of cute.)

You can hold outside church just about anywhere or anytime. Not many restrictions. Just go and do church whenever or wherever.

Not sure about you, but outside church can be pretty exciting and challenging. If you haven't heard about it, you should try it. If you have no clue what I'm writing about, drop me a line. Better yet, come by and we'll go out for church.
