The Problem with My Christianity…Continued

The Problem with My Christianity…Continued
Do I really believe in a local ecclesiastical body known as the Church? What does the Church do for me? What do I do for the Church? What does God do in the Church through me and in me through the Church? Questions, questions, questions.
The Church seems to have been defined in my Christianity as the comfort cocoon where I do all my spiritual tokens, i.e. worshiping, giving, loving and serving.
Once again I say, the problem is not with Christianity, it’s with my Christianity. The problem is not with Church, it’s with my definition of Church.
This definition of Church puts the responsibility of my ministry to the Church not me. I am what I am because my Church made me so. I am not missionary-minded because my Church is not…how convenient.
This happened in the Early Church. They got comfortable with Church administration; God sent persecution to spread them, thereby spreading the message. They learnt to work once again outside the organized Church structure
I think my Epiphany is starting. I’m starting to see clearly.
