This Sunday I went to Church, once in while won't kill me....I hope. In any case, the guy who carries the title Pastor; Daron asked, What does God want his Church to look like? (I should add that he does a heck of a job!) I think this must be one of the best questions for the American Church I have ever heard, and from a pastor too. The obvious answer is, white with a steeple and double doors at the entrance. Duh!
In reality, I don't think it's possible to paint a picture of what the Church ought to look like, it would have to be a video. Everything that Jesus taught was a form of action. Love your neighbor as yourself can only be accomplished through action. Love is active, if it's not, well I guess you've got some fuzzy feelings or something. In any case I believe God wants an active church.
I think a big part, or at least the beginning of what the Church should look like is like a big family. If you find yourself with a bunch of people who love each other, spend time together and live lives that reflect love for God, well you just might be at Church. In my opinion, this can happen anywhere, in the woods, at the grocery store, most often at someones house, even at the top of Mt. Rainier. Speaking of, anyone interested in a Church meeting at the summit of Mt. Rainier, let me know, that would be awesome!
