The Word For Today RADIO PULPIT 2014/08/14 Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (4) 1 Cor 12:12 NLT The Bible says, The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. Lets use what may seem like a ridiculous illustration. Imagine your foot no longer wanting to be part of your body and when you ask why, it starts saying things like, Im tired of getting walked on and dragged through the mud. Other parts of the body get off easy, but I have to do the heavy lifting. Nobody appreciates me. They talk about beautiful eyes and hair and lips, but nobody writes songs about feet. So Im leaving. When you enquire what your foots future plans are, it says, Im just going to sit at home and watch Christian TV. Now, Christian broadcasting is great, especially for those who are shut in and cant get out to church. But when you leave a church without Gods permission, you no longer function as He designed you to. You may have peace for a while, but youll have no fulfilment. And because you are cut off from your spiritual food supply - you wont grow into maturity. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand, that does not make it any less a part of the body...God has put each part just where he wants it...In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary (1 Cor inthians 12:14-22 NLT). Why should you come back to church? For fellowship, food, function and fulfilment.
