I often hesitate to write blog posts. I hesitate, not because I lack in things to say, not because I feel that my opinion doesn’t count or doesn’t need to be shared, not because I think no one really cares. I hesitate to write because I only want to write truth.
Truth in my words, truth in my motives, truth in my commitment to God, and to honoring Him in the things I say, no matter the medium.
All those words said, here’s what I need to say.
The church is not a building. It’s not a place. It’s, well, us. Those of us who choose to follow the way of Christ the best way we know how. And this is the problem, really.
It would be much easier if the church were the building. Because they would be strong, they would be varied but identifiable, they would be less-intelligently designed, and we could comprehend the church as we would like. We would have problems with the church, but we could call a technician, or an expert, and have the problem fixed. We could put a pricetag on it, raise the money, and pay the problem away.
