And I have to wonder if along with asking and then determining which you are — driven or called — you must not also have to dig much deeper than mere definition and ask and then determine for yourself how willing you are to “pick-up your cross” and defend not only your calling but also the One Who called you, the coventantal standards by which He demands you live, and the fact that, most assuredly and most “rightly,” you were called?

Church is not a building, it is an action commanded and expected by God of His children and reiterated throughout the Bible by many as by Jesus in Matthew 4:10 when, in resisting one of satan’s temptations, He proclaimed, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”

…but…”What Is Church?” should not, in the least and to my way of thinking, be defined by humans but rather be defined, practiced, and lived as my pastor once and, I pray, still continues to dream that it can be and as stipulated and intended by God Himself in Acts 2: 42-47 of His Most Holy Word:

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
