Did you know that the Greek word often translated as “church” in most English versions is εκκλησία (ekklēsia, or ecclesia?)
The word is a compound word meaning “called-
It is important to understand that the ecclesia is not a building or denomination; not a meeting or doctrinal creed; it is not somewhere we go or something we do, but who we are as believers.
Anything more or less than this simple truth is a fake.
Our apostle tells us in Ephesians 1:22-

If I may ask you some questions, and please understand my intention. I say what I am about to say almost with tears. I really desire your maturity in Christ. So here it goes dear brother:
Why do you “go to Church?” Why would you put yourself and your family under the authority of a single man who goes by the name “pastor?” Why would you be part of the very thing that promotes the teaching of demons? (I Timothy 4:1-
