Question

What does the word 'church' mean?

Answer

Now, all those types of old were…they were just shadows of things that was to come. Now, I believe that was the Church natural. The Jewish church that was brought out of Egypt to Palestine, was the natural church, God’s natural people, who had a natural law. See? But we today, are God’s spiritual Church, with a spiritual law written on the tables of our hearts, led in a spiritual form. Now, they looked up to see where the Pillar of Fire was, the Angel of the Lord. But we don’t look today. There’s just something happens, that we know He’s there. See? Now, and all that they was…Now, they were the people of God. Israel down in Egypt, were the people of God until they come out of Egypt and started towards the promised land; then they became the Church of God. The word “church” means “called out.” I love that: “separated ones.” God said, “Separate Me Paul and Barnabas to the work that I have called them.” Now, this…The churches today, many of them, are looking for mixers. Somebody who can mix and maybe do a little of this and that, and little recreation, and golfing, and maybe a few parties and so forth.
