Bible Notes on “You Don’t Need the Church, But You Do Need the Kingdom”
Matthew 6:33
This verse of Scripture instructs us to seek first God’s kingdom. For emphasis, Jesus adds “and His righteousness.” That is, God’s kingdom is about doing the right thing.
You will find no such verse in the Bible instructing you to seek church. That instruction comes from those who operate, and benefit from, churches.
