We are a body, the body of Christ. If we want to be a healthy, living body, all parts must be united together perfectly. Jesus is the head of our body, and just like the human body, the head is master over all the parts so that they operate as a unit If a part of the body is hurt, the whole body is somewhat disabled because it feels the pain and does all it can to minister to that part of the body. The load may be shifted to the other foot, or other parts may tend to the injury by bandaging the wound. The course of the whole body is altered because of the injury. It's time for us, the body, to be so connected in such a way that every need can be ministered as the needs come up. This requires that members lives intermingle. It requires intimate one on one relationships.It requires the meeting of small groups where love and trust and communication can build. The typical church structure is not the answer. Just like the natural family, it takes sacrifice and committment , and a true dedication to each other out of reverance for Jesus.
The Church has become no more than a show, or a place where we now congregate to feel better about the lives we are living the rest of the week. We as a whole must began again to challenge the masses to live the truth.....daily. We must stop intertwining the Church with the world. Have you read revelations lately? Which church are you apart of?
