“He who is near the church is often far from God” French Proverb
The above quote caught my attention today and started me thinking. I know that where two or three are gathered together He is in the midst but I wonder sometimes if God is bothered by being contained in our boxes we call churches? Oh I know God is everywhere and we couldn’t contain Him if we wanted to but we do limit Him to a building with our religious paradigms. “Let’s go to church so we can feel God and see His miraculous acts” is what we think and speak while Jesus Christ is trying to build a “church” or extension of himself outside our boxes. Whether intentional or not we wrap Christ up in a pretty package and let Him out on Sunday and the world is crying out to see and feel Him and we present that it is not possible unless they come to church. Instead of inviting the lost world to church why don’t we bring the church to them. Let’s let God out of church and let’s become the church!
