As a quick follow up to yesterday’s post, and certainly an important one, I’d like to write for a moment to something HUGE that I missed yesterday.

We ARE the church.

Duh. Sometimes I forget.

This is more important that everything else combined: that God planned it this way.  He specifically crafted the idea of getting people to learn to love each other.  He knew that IF they could figure it out and unite under one Lord, the world we see that something was different, and that God is alive and well in the hearts of men.  And so the church was born.

It’s had it’s ups and downs, for sure. It’s been used and abused and yet it still remains.  No one can stop it, no one can destroy it.  It’s constantly changing and it’s up to us to find out what God’s will is for the church in our generation.

Are you actively a part of the church?  Or are you trying to do your own thing?

We ARE the body of Christ.

We MUST get connected.

We, the church, choose to be the church.
