We are the church, so why go to church?

We are the church, so why go to church?

‭‭1 Corinthians 12:14 WEBUS‬‬
[14] For the body is not one member, but many.

People love to say “we are the church” and yes we are, but we are not meant to be alone. For the body of Christ is not one singular person but many members! We were given these gifts to HELP each other (1Corinthians 12:7) so if we wander off, thinking we are fine being alone and “being the church” we are in error! Everything in scripture talks about iron sharpening iron, if one falls the other helps them up, 3 cored strand is not easily broken. To not forsake the gathering of the saints!

STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CHURCH! THAT IS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST! YOU WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE!

Get the log out of your own eye before trying to get a speck out of someone else’s.

Making generic statements about “the church” is NOT edifying the body! We have power of life and death in our tongue! We need to speak to edify the body not belittle it!

I am guilty of this!

Lord I repent! Forgive me for the idle words I have spoken about your bride! Help me to remember to PRAY and intercede for our local bodies rather then walk in pride & with a critical spirit!!

Instead of being frustrated with how the church is, as a whole, find one that has most of the same beliefs as you and see how your passion for the move of God may stir the passion in others as well!
