In our time it may well be that the greatest single bottleneck to the

renewal and outreach of the church is the division of roles between clergy and laity. In the end it leads to a

reluctance on the part of the laity to trust themselves as authentic ministers

of Christ, which they are.~ Robert Munger

Let everyone, therefore, who knows himself to be a Christian be assured of this, and apply it

Because every hunger, when followed to its source, turns out to be a hunger

for God, it is vital that we live in a community safe enough for us to

express and explore all our desires.

To be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive

specimen of humanity is still to be closer to God than when looking up

into a starry sky or at a beautiful sunset. For we cannot really love a sunset; we can love only a person.

For contemporary Christians, to meet regularly in small groups is not an option or a luxury. It is a biblical

mandate that they must obey if they want to experience communal life and

if their churches are to become biblically functioning communities.

We are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they

will be my people.’

And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are God's holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please

him because of Jesus Christ. ~ 1 Peter 2:4-5 (NLT)
