I agree that we ARE a body in the church...each of us have unique gifts and roles as hands, eyes, ears, the nose, nails, hair, skin, lungs, heart, stomach, feet, legs, arms, fingers and toes do. The thing is that seeing the modern day we are living in, so many people are just doing CHURCH as the tradition of just going to that building down the street called God's House, and not treating their OWN house like it was GOD's house. Recently one of the biggest helps for me in my Christian walk has been understanding and constantly reminding myself that ALL I have is God's. My leather jacket, my shoes, my socks, my bed, my house, my car, my eyes, my mouth, my mind and all my body belongs to God. Im not trying to bring down the church, but I believe that trying to increase awareness amongst people to better it and become more concerned for it is what I can do to help the church grow. Im more of a type of person to try to present things as they are, and I try to be as realistic as I can, yet never forgetting "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". I believe that the church (I myself am of the Baptist church) can grow nationwide and change our world eventually to make it a much better place. We need to stick together as a church of course, but never forget to fix what is being done wrong.
