One Body

Romans 12: 4 - 5
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,
so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

As senseless as the shooting was in Menasha on Sunday night, something good did come of it.
People gathered at a local church at 1pm yesterday to come and pray.

Not just people from Calvary Bible Church came and prayed, but even people from WCF came to pray, and other churches too.
That’s what the Body of Christ does, when another body hurts.

One can’t argue that some churches have differences within.
Some churches are almost competitive with other churches, but that doesn’t seem right.

I met other church Pastors and leaders from other churches, and something beautiful was happening.
Although we all don’t have the same function, we are one body, and the body gathered for prayer, and for counsel offered to those who were hurting.

Maybe it’s times like these, that get us focused on the one true church again, and not individualism.
One day when we all get to glory, I think when we realize what we disagreed on in principal on earth, won’t make a whole lot of difference, in a place of perfection.

Could it be possible, that God can work something good, out of something so tragic?
That sure seems to have been the case in Neenah, with a church that’s really hurting.


What area of your life needs to get refocused on the body of Christ, since we’re all members of one another anyway?
