The church that Jesus lives for !

I have come through a time of real solitude and struggle with this thing called church and still feel that a lot of what we do should not be done and a lot of what we don’t do – should be done – being the church that Jesus lives for. It is as we know not so much about buildings, policies and doctrines, but a living breathing community of people fully engaged in getting down to doing the things that God wants us to do – love more, care more, forgive more, engage with others more, listen more and give more to those who do not have. We have become overweight with what we can get out of church rather than asking – what can we do to serve the church better – the people, community, vineyard belonging to God. How we do this will determine the life or death of a co- created force of life so able to change the world we live in, and yet so vulnerable due to its own insecurities. Let us live for the church that Jesus lives for !! Amen
