You Be YOU!
You be you and I'll be me.
In the same way God intends for each individual to live out their unique and original design, so God desires and intends the same for His local church.
Each local church needs to discover God's design and their one-of-a-kind unique "niche" for the Kingdom of God. As each local church (body of Christ) operates out of its' unique, personal design, then when we (local churches) all join together, we make up the Church (capital C) and form The Body of Christ. At that point will the Bride of Christ look as God intends and we will surely return this land back to Jesus Christ.
Don't try to make your church look like someone else's or make someone else's look like yours. We are all different for a specific reason, to reach different people. One of the worst things we can do to play right into the hand of the enemy is to alienate other churches for not doing or operating as we do. We are all different. Yes, we can always learn things from one another and make sure we hold to the basic tenants and principles of our faith. But how God chooses to anoint and call each church to carry out The Great Commission is all part of God's creative design. He truly demonstrates His greatness and creativity in how each local church is designed.
Let's embrace one another understanding each local church is suppose to be a little different b/c each individual local church makes up a part of the Body of Christ. And when the local churches join, so will the Body of Christ be joined together to carry out the purpose of winning souls and glorifying our Lord!
