Could you explain what an institutionalize church is? And why aren't you a part of one?
Maureen
Dear Maureen: An "institution" is an organization put together by a group or community of people. This is fine for many organizations, but when it comes to the "Church of Christ," it spells total disaster. Jesus Christ said: "I will build MY Church...." Jesus did NOT say, "Come let us build a church together based on all of your desires."
The Institutions that men build are in contradiction to the "Church" which Jesus built, and that is why I am not a part of any of them. Besides, God commands us to "COME OUT OF HER..." (Rev. 18:4).
God be with you,
Ray
