House Church Talk - public meetings

[Scott Dowlen]

I'm afraid that too many leaders of IC think their buildings are the temple
and house of God. If people went there to hang out and play checkers, I
think you'd be on to something.

For now, the group here in Midland will stick with Jumburrito. How can you
get any more spiritual than that???
