Have you ever heard someone talk about planting a church?
If not an individual, has your church planted another church?
Or have you heard of someone starting a house church?
When was the church you go to founded?
What are we talking about here?
I don't think we create 'church' no matter how we try. Christ already created His Church by living within each of us. So there is no need to try to create a new organization and call it church. I think when we do this we encourage disunity in Christ's Church because some will naturally think they belong to one 'church' but not another.
I pray that more would see themselves as members of Christ's church - His body - part of His kingdom where He is King.
Am I just hung up on this church word? - I think we need to find some better ways to communicate what we mean.
Thoughts?
