Something more for the Church

I passed a road sign that read CHURCH.

i was suprised to find the lord jesus christ's church all in one place. the think is a bit further up the road there was a building that also had a sign on it that read CHURCH; there was not a soul in sight. Read this church...

1Co 10:1 Friends, I want to remind you that all of our ancestors walked under the cloud and went through the sea.
1Co 10:2 This was like being baptized and becoming followers of Moses.
1Co 10:3 All of them also ate the same spiritual food
1Co 10:4 and drank the same spiritual drink, which flowed from the spiritual rock that followed them. That rock was Christ.
1Co 10:5 But most of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert.
1Co 10:6 What happened to them is a warning to keep us from wanting to do the same evil things.
1Co 10:7 They worshiped idols, just as the Scriptures say, "The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance around." So don't worship idols.
1Co 10:8 Some of those people did shameful things, and in a single day about twenty-three thousand of them died. Don't do shameful things as they did.
1Co 10:9 And don't try to test Christ, as some of them did and were later bitten by poisonous snakes.
1Co 10:10 Don't even grumble, as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel.
1Co 10:11 These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.
1Co 10:12 Even if you think you can stand up to temptation, be careful not to fall.
1Co 10:13 You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape from your temptations.
1Co 10:14 My friends, you must keep away from idols.
1Co 10:15 I am speaking to you as people who have enough sense to know what I am talking about.
1Co 10:16 When we drink from the cup that we ask God to bless, isn't that sharing in the blood of Christ? When we eat the bread that we break, isn't that sharing in the body of Christ?
1Co 10:17 By sharing in the same loaf of bread, we become one body, even though there are many of us.
