We fail to comprehend the love of God. "He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (Eph. 1:4)  The transformation required to take us from lost wretches to be holy and blameless must take place in the church; in Christ's church. It is an arduous process. 

It is imperative then, that the church be a measured place; not by our standards, but by God's (Revelation 11:1).  Since COVID-19 began, Pastor Singh now evaluates every aspect our this assembly's service to God. We used to view the scripture above as some future measurement. Now our Pastor sees it differently. The Bible already discloses God's requirements, but we have allowed human dogmas and traditions to dictate worship patterns contrary to God's ordinances.
