I'm mulling over my thoughts for tomorrow... with a strong desire that God would speak much louder than me. I'm not going to be refined or funny, but whatever it is I hope people are stirred to be the church God intends us to be.
To be the church God envisioned
... the church Jesus died for...
... the church Jesus bought with his blood
... the one the gates of hell could not stand against
... the one that served the poor so lovingly in the 1st century the Emperor could not deny their existence
... the church that is a servant
... the church that cares
... the church that supports
... the church that fights, not for themselves, but against the injustices in this world
... the church that spreads...
May we, our small and growing local ecclesia, be the right kind of church, the church God wants us to be.
Not the most popular, or one with the best music or most comfortable seats (though one day anything would be better than metal)... the church that is known for love, faith, and hope... a model of full devotion to Christ and his mission.
May it be. May we be. May the church BE.
Just like you want it God!!
