Because there is so much confusion with the term ‘church’ I believe we should remove the word ‘church’ from our vocabulary.

When we do this we will see the change in our understanding of what we really mean when talking about ‘church’. Try and see how difficult it is to stop calling church, church.

Everything is about church, so when we stop using the word we have to carefully choose another word to mean exactly what we mean. When "ekklesia" is translated correctly "assembly": "the assembly of God" or "the assembly of Christ." or even congregation as some ancient versions do and used in our conversation it begins to change many things that were associated with the idol called church.

Ekklesia is all about the body of Christ, the people not the building or organization. We don’t go to church – we ‘assemble’ as the body of Christ whether it is in a special purpose building or on the beach. “Where two or three are gathered together in my name there I AM” Matt 18:20

Instead of saying “where do you go to church” you could say “where are you going to assemble”.
