The Church Matters

"...I am writing you these instructions so that...you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth." 1 Timothy 3:14-15

Although our culture would marginalize the church that is not God's view. In God's view the church is central--it is God's household (family). In God's plan the church is essential--it is the pillar and foundation that upholds the truth in this world.

When we allow the church to become in our thinking only a meeting place or an organization we do a great disservice to ourselves and our community. We must embrace our significant identity as God's family and our significant mission of holding up and out God's truth in a morally and spiritually crumbling world.

Father, help the church to be what you created it to be in this world. Help our church to realize your vision for us in our community.

I'm praying for you.
