Jesus Christ calls His followers to be the church - not play church. Our passion for Him is to be followed by our passion for the family of God. Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Evangelism - as we fulfill these five functions, we express our love for God and our love for people.
It always seems necessary for me to point out that the 'church' is not a reference to a building. I say that because of my work in the Middle East and North Africa with SAT-7. There is a Church, but no buildings.
In many places in Eastern Europe, places of worship are referred to as a 'House of Prayer' and in Cuba, as 'Templo.'
These believers are more aware than we that the Church is only made up of people - and not with the buildings in which they meet. Serious problems can arise when we are confused on this point.
