Being The Church

But what does that mean?

I'm no theologian but these are some things God's been speaking to me about.

There's a difference between being A church and being THE Church. Our loyalty and sense of pride should come from who our King is (Jesus Christ) and not who our pastor (or worship leader or even congregation). Sure, we can be proud of our church but not at the expense of putting others or other churches down. Let's be THE Church and love one another.

Which brings me to love: Jesus says this is the greatest commandment to keep. Love your neighbors as you would love yourself (Matthew 22:39 but it comes up in several places). Being the church is simply loving others: the churched and unchurched.
