Their attitude is similar to the attitude which prompted men to construct The Great Wall of China, for isolation is better than contamination with outside forces. Behind this sectarian wall are thousands of captives who need spiritual nourishment and new avenues of thought and freedom. Instead of recognizing and embracing all of God's children, they have secluded themselves behind factional fences and no one may enter who does not state a willingness to parrot the party's slogans. You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
Believers are the church.
Consequently, the church goes to the meetinghouse. It would be difficult, if not impossible, for the genuine believer to do something in the name of the Lord and to His glory without worshipping. The expression indicates a return to the old Law of Moses, a ritualistic system that was superseded by Jesus and the New Way. There were no material structures to build and maintain, and no ecclesiastical pulpiteers to support. Money was collected only when a need arose.
