Yesterday, we watched an interview here at the Global Leadership Summit with the President and CEO of Compassion International. During that interview I was reminded of a sobering truth.
That truth? Here it is: God’s plan for ministering to the world, for reaching out and redeeming the people of the world is the church. God’s plan A is that the church – the family of God – will minister and reach out to the people of the world and through that ministry and community, redemption will be found.
The real sobering aspect of this plan is that there is no plan B!
How do we do this? It’s not by “doing” church. I have written about this before – you might want to take a look at this post.
We have to get past the idea that we are going to “do” church. Instead, we have to see that we must “be” the church. If every individual in the church were to take to heart that we are to be the church out in the world – our world would be changed and changed for the better.
There is no plan B.
Go and BE the church today!
I’d love to hear the outcome.
