I believe in the Church. The church is a glorious, moving, breathing, God blessed organization. Not a church but THEE CHURCH. I'm glad to be a member. I'm glad to be a part.
Matthew 16:18 (KJV) READ 13-20
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Church is Triumphant Because
Jesus bought the church
Bought with His OWN blood
Eph. 5:23 for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. "Take heed unto yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood" (Acts 20:28). It is therefore HIS church (not mine or a denomination)
Jesus Built the church
Built As The Body of Christ
One songwriter wrote, "Oh to be His hand extended reaching out to the oppressed. Habitat for Humanity set a new record in March 1999. It was in Auckland, New Zealand. With 140 volunteers on site and 14 months of planning, a four-bedroom house complete with curtains, mailbox, lawn, shrubs, and fence and yes it all worked. In Get this 3 hours,44 minutes and 59 seconds. When people work together things happen.
Oh that the Body of Christ would get on the same page and work together. I'm afraid some are in the wrong book.
1 Corinthians 12 talks about the Church as the Body of Christ and working together in unity. It basically tells us to do what we are gifted or good at working together.
Prepared as the Bride of Christ
Eph. 5:23 for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. The beautiful blushing lady in as spotless white as she can get, who strolls down the aisle of the church in a traditional wedding to be given by her father to a young man.
That is what in a sense happens to us. We are given by the Father to the Son, however we are in the preparing days. We should be making sure our garments are wrinkle free and spotless.
Jesus Brings the Church
Brings the Church Through (OVERCOMERS)
The church Jesus told Peter He was going to build it on the rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail. We aren't going down. WE'RE GOING THROUGH!!! One songwriter said, "I've read the back of the book and we win" another wrote about the Church, " No government can break and no evil power can shake it for the Spirit of the Lord has been it's stay. On a rock he said He'd build it and the gates of hell can't tilt it but He's coming to remove it right away." The Church is the only thing going passed the graveyard. It's going passed death it's going to be victorious because of the Blood of Jesus Christ which has purchased us and cleansed us. There is nothing that can come against the church that hasn't gone through God first.
Some might think that God is in heaven now wringing his hands saying what do I do with those Islamic extremest? But I answer that with a loud resounding NO. God will never meet his Waterloo and neither will HIS CHURCH. Christ is still going to mount that great white steed and ride through the heavens with that inscription on his thigh, "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
I'm glad to be a part of the CHURCH I mean to stay a part of the CHURCH I mean to Contribute to CHURCH
End by singing "TIS A GLORIOUS CHURCH" # -______
