Throughout this journey, God has continued to challenge us and expand our comfort zone. Today He threw down another challenge that I am seeking His guidance on. Not at a point where I can share details yet, but I see this journey becoming more and more exciting.
As Greg spoke, I saw the picture of a Church, the word of God being the foundation, the building, the structure; The Holy Spirit being the life of the Church.

Without the Holy Spirit, the church is just another building, it can be solidly built, but it lacks life. It could be compared to a zombie… physically moving but lacking life, lacking spirit.

Without the Bible, the living word of God, there is spirit, but no physical structure. I saw the Bible, as the physical substance, the mouth, the hands, the feet that are essential to being complete. If we are just a spirit, we can’t speak, reach out, touch others, we can’t build, we can’t physically create/complete what our spirit desires.

We tend to pendulum – swing to one extreme or the other. I so admire the real deal – the completeness, the body and spirit working together in sync Talking the talk and walking the walk, a full, complete life. Now there’s a goal for the day. 🙂

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

¹⁷ Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. ¹⁸ As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. John 17:17-19
