I Corinthians 12:12 ” The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.”

The Church is called “The Body of Christ”…and so, if you think about it, as fellow Christians behave, so does the Church we are part of. Thus, when Charles Spurgeon wrote this about the Church, it could also be directed towards us. “The more the Church is distinct from the world in her acts and in her words, the more true is her testimony for Christ and the more potent is her witness against sin.” If your co-workers and casual friends have no idea that you’re a Christian…if your actions on Saturday night are the total opposite of your behavior on Sunday morning, how do you expect your Church to make any difference in the community and the world outside the four walls? I Peter 2:9 calls us to be a peculiar people – distinct and standing up for our faith…not blending into the worldview. For when we, the Body of Christ, accepts the call, the Church can’t help but change.
