Life is fragile . . . and so is a church. We thrive and have life only when we continuously seek to accomplish what our Lord has called us to.
What is that exactly?
To bring the gospel to our surrounding communities? Yes. To offer an environment for spiritual growth? I agree. I would add to that the mission of ministry. A place filled with burden-sharers who are Spirit led to assist and strengthen one another. (To truly be a safe-zone though, we have to be able to unmask without fear of rejection or judgment, so that’s part of it.)
I believe our Lord has called us to all of this and possibly more, within the context of love and within the confines of His word. In other words, when loving our community – in Christ – we do not condone the sins that separate the sinner from a Holy and righteous God. No matter how socially popular that particular sin may be or how unpopular we may become in opposing.
A church body has a chance to thrive in as much as they remain faithful to their Creator. Our Founder birthed the church by befriending tax collectors and sinners and exposing them to God’s love and His truth. Sounds like a great formula for success, doesn’t it?
But it’s fragile, and when we become too inwardly focused we lose. When we become “Church-y” and judgmental, we lose. Or hardhearted and uncaring, we lose. When we make it difficult for those without Jesus to penetrate our world, we not only lose we become irrelevant.
Life in Christ is fragile . . . protect it through faithfulness!

Teaching the word of God is a challenge (not that it’s overly difficult). To share a verse by verse meaning of ancient texts that have been poured over by great minds for centuries, all you really need for that is surrender and desire. Tools abound to help you understand their surface meaning which can open the door to their limitless instruction for your life.
The challenging part I’m alluding to is teaching folks where the handles are, or the notion that the “Word” comes with handles. OK, that’s my way of saying that “God's Word” is meant to be grabbed hold of and come along for the ride (the ride being your life).
So, the other day I get asked several questions by a relatively seasoned Christian. The answers I shared were not really to the persons liking – it went against popular thought. In other words, it’s not what Disney teaches in its mega-cartoons. She totally missed the handles.
Here’s the thing: we miss or lose our grip on the handles because the world suddenly springs something on us that sounds more understanding and therefore more genuine. But as successful as Disney and Pixar and others are in affecting young and not so young minds, you can’t change the Word of God! Even if it “sounds” better to do so!
Please grab hold of God’s Holy Word and let it saturate your mind and heart so that no matter how persuasive the man behind the curtain is you’ll hang onto the truth!
