what i’ve learned about [church]: part x

Part 10 is a good place to stop, so let me summarize this way…

God has chosen those who are His to be His Church. It was His idea, not a human creation. The Church (made up of those who follow Christ) in all her human frailty is the God’s chosen instrument to bring the message of the Gospel to a fractured world. I get really excited when I think about being used by God to help prepare His bride for the biggest wedding day this side of Brad and Angelina. If you are a follower of Christ, that is your job…to ready the bride for His grand entrance. (Ephesians 4) That is a day worth preparing for, sacrificing for, strategically plotting for, a day and a cause worth giving your life for. We, the Church, must never lose sight of the ultimate prize that awaits on THE wedding day. So Church…love relentlessly, serve sacrificially and lead humbly so that all may hear the Good News and be there when He walks down the aisle.
