1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.The following are the marks of a House Church as it may grow
into the divine ideal of the Body of Christ, as I see it. Those last
four words are urgent, my friend. I refuse to be your guru or master.
YOU must be convinced of the hope which is within YOU. My zeal
will not carry the day. YOUR zeal must be freshly inspired of the
Lord daily. The father is the leader and pastor of his own home,
and one of the fathers in every house church will be the leader
of that assembly.So examine these principles to see if they fit with the Word of God,
and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. The Spirit
of God will teach you all the things you need for a normal church
life from the Word of God.Thus, if I hear that you solve problems with the statement, "Pastor
Steve says.....," I will know that I have failed to help you come into
the perfection which is only found in Jesus Christ. If the following
can be of some small blessing in your church life for teaching
purposes, praise God.If you would like to be on the Newsletter mailing list...

WHY TO, AND WHY NOT TO, START A HOUSE CHURCH?
Wrong Reasons for Starting a House Church
For revenge
For novelty, or because Harry thinks it is cool
Because you are too lazy to find a Bible based church
For power over people
To enforce your own patented law codeRight Reasons for Starting a House Church
Because you want to exalt God with the saints
Because assemblies in the area are brutish,
heretical, use funny Bibles, or are political
Because you are starved for the Word
Because you are very far from Bible believing fellowship

IS THE ONE-PASTOR SYSTEM OF CHURCH LIFE SCRIPTURAL?
This is a serious look at the problem of the One Man show of having a ruling pastor. The Brethren assembly is the option considered, and it may well be the most biblical option and the most honoring to the Holy Ghost.LINK: Please read-- How to be the Lord's Church
SHOULD YOU SPLIT THE CHURCH YOU ARE NOW IN?
They are not the center of attention, nor are they to be neglected

To flee youthful lusts
To love the Word of God
To learn to relate to adults and the church as a family

CHURCH HISTORY AND THE HOUSE CHURCH
From the Ascension to the Pilgrims
From the Meeting Hall of New England to the Present Deformity
We must require all Fundamentalists to read from this
section so that you do not repeat the same dumb things again.
THE GOSPEL-- Be sure all who come to you are born again
MUCH ASSURANCE-- Many wounded sheep need assurance badly
There are House Churches appearing which are for
the sole purpose of destroying local churches
THE UNREGISTERED CHURCH DISCUSSED
Pastor Kirk Coffia on the unregistered church
Pastor Kirk Coffia on legal issue and the unregistered church
The Political Issue and Caesar
Pastor Coffia makes a clear distinction between the individual Christian's duty to pay his taxes to Caesar, while the Lord's Church must be separated from Caesar. This is rare and very refreshing, for it is almost always found the unregistered church people are tax rebels. The two issues are an apples and oranges issue-- they must not be mixed up as if they are the same thing.
Including links to other Web ministries
The same liberals and goofy nuts who troubled the local church of brick and mortar, which we left to move into the homes, are now taking over the House Church movement. The House Church is very vulnerable. Why? Answer: Satan sees the close and open mind of the House Church, and he is sending tender hearted creeps to parasite off of the House Churches. Woman preachers, sodomites, Diotrophese, and "every filthy bird" are knocking at the door pretending to just adore our genuineness and biblical ways. You better be wise a serpents and harmless as doves.
