I have said over the years that the church is really out-of-style right now in the Western world, but I have good news. The Church is about to have a major comeback because Jesus is building the Church and He is coming for a Church filled with glory. Do not buy into the rhetoric that the Church is over and that we are just going to have a little fun time and go on some ministry trips. He wants the Body functioning in every geographic area according to the New Testament pattern. He is committed to His Church Every believer needs to be a functioning, contributing, serving, giving member of a local church. You do that when you’re in Bible school, you do that when you are on the mission field, you do that when you work at any job—you do it wherever you are. Wherever you are, get involved in the Body of Christ in that geographic area. That is God’s purpose. Follow the footsteps of the flock (Song 1:8) by being involved in a local church. Do not live in isolation from it, though that is a popular trend. That is not what the Spirit is saying. The Holy Spirit is not following Facebook trends. The Holy Spirit is not following anybody! He is leading His own agenda that is revealed in the Word. I look at the Word, and I know what He is building. “I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail…” (Mt. 16:18)
