Jesus Never Told Believers to Go to Church

<p>I don&rsquo;t go to a church anymore &mdash; at least not in the traditional sense.</p> <p>I still get together with a group of other believers, though &mdash; every week, in fact. We sit around a fire in a backyard, eat good food, drink a few beers, share our struggles, and chat about life and faith together. Jesus is there most weeks as well!</p> <p>It&rsquo;s church enough for me.</p> <p>However, when one of the other guys who comes along to my little backyard church wanted to volunteer for a parachurch organization, he was told that he was not allowed because he didn&rsquo;t attend a &lsquo;real&rsquo; church.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/backyard-theology/jesus-never-told-believers-to-go-to-church-52b2b6531663"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
