We Are–the Body of Christ

“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace give us”–Romans 12:3-6.

“Selflessness [means to] Worship God: This helps us avoid worshiping ourselves or other idols! Be Transformed: Don’t conform to worldly practices and standards but open yourself up for God to change you in ways that will honor him. Act responsibly: Measure your service on the basis of your gifts, not someone else’s”–Faith in Action Study Bible, Romans 12:1-8.

“The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity”–Matthew Henry.

“The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God”–C.S. Lewis.

“. . . build on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit”–Ephesians 2:20-22.

“Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man”–Dwight L. Moody.

“Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with faults”–John Calvin.

“Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood”–Acts 20:28.
