Church is different things to different people. To some its a place where you go if you want to be a good person. To some its a place you go if you want to be a hypocrite. To others its a place where God is. To others still its a place where God would never be.
I want to express some of my thoughts of what a church should be, and my vision of what God has called the church to be and do.
I see a church that is the life-source of the town or city it is in. I see new life being birthed from it daily in forms of:
People coming to know Jesus.
Sickness being healed.
Bondage's of addiction being broken.
Lives being changed for the good of the Kingdom of God.
Entire cities prospering just because the local church is there and doing the will of God.
Broken homes being reunited.
Poverty completely gone from a city because of the church and them doing the will of God.
I see a church that is so influential that the whole city is asking for their help in everyday decisions.
I see a church that loves.
I see a church that is doing everything in their power to keep the whole world from suffering and bringing light to even the darkest corners of the earth.
What kind if church do you see?
