To all those, including @SteveSisolak, who endeavor to keep churches limited or closed, let me share this: Sir, it is unlikely that anyone has ever explained to you why as Christians we are called to meet together and worship. Let me shed light so perhaps you and others

understand what you are doing is prohibiting Christians from doing as God commands us.

When a person repents and turns to Christ, God has promised that He sends His Holy Spirit into our lives. The Spirit uniquely equips every Christian with certain gifts (preaching, teaching,

helps, prayer, etc). Those gifts are specifically to be used in the building up and strengthening of fellow Christians in the church. We MUST actually come together to use those gifts to build each other up, encourage one another, and equip our brethren to do the work of God.

Coming together is a requirement of God that these things can happen. This cannot be done when we are forced to remain apart. Yes, we can hear preaching online. While that is an amazing gift of technology, it is but ONE part of being part of the church. The corporate worship of

the church is for the strengthening of the church as a whole.

By refusing to recognize this fact and insisting on treating the church as it were merely a gathering for entertainment or some kind of personal fulfillment, you are reducing God's institution to some minor thing

that really is not needed for anyone, just a matter of convenience, an unessential grouping of people. Sir, what you are doing is wrong. Please realize you put yourself at odds with God Himself when you treat His church in such a callous manner.

Open our churches back up and let us worship God rightly.
