Rethink The Church

"This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."  Ephesians 5:32.  I recently saw a sign which suggested, "Why don't we rethink the church?"  Over the many centuries since the church was established, men have tried to rethink the church.  During this period of time, the sacredness of the church has been destroyed.  We have churches with different names, different beliefs, different doors of entrance, and different ways of worship. Many offer different lifestyles of those within the church.  Men are constantly rethinking the church.  But, man has no authority to rethink the church.  The church originated in the mind of God.  Ephesians 3:10-11.  The church was built by Jesus.  Matthew 16:18.  The church was purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ.  Acts 20:28.  The church is perfect because God is perfect.  The church is complete because Jesus Christ is the fullness of God.  Colossians 1:19.  When men rethink the church, the church will become flawed. When men rethink the church, the church will lose its distinctiveness.  When men rethink the church, men will be lost.
