The Christian antidote for selfishness is the church.
We are called to live for each other, and share Jesus everywhere we go.
The church is not a super market, or a filling station or a country club. It is not a lecture hall or a pep rally, a dusty old museum, or a local pub. It is not a store front or a cathedral, although any and all of these figures, and many more, have been used to define or describe what some people think a church might be like.
The church is Jesus’ creation. Jesus loves the church. The Bible tells us it his bride. It is his creation. And the church loves Jesus. The church is God’s family.
Now that you have been told more than you really wanted to know about ecclesiology, how can you best participate in the faith community?
