Sometimes a church can be less a community of believers recklessly pursuing devotion to Christ and become merely a building - a sort of "cruise ship" where we go to have our needs met. Christ's ideal for His body is where people can be introduced to Him (believe), get connected to other believers on a mission to make His name more famous (belong), receive instruction in godliness and righteousness (be trained), and then pursue a life of fully devoted ministry to others (be strong). Are we content where we are? Or do we really understand the incredible opportunity that's before us?
