Righteousness, peace, and joy come into the lives of people is the objective of our labors. That those people form churches is the natural product of righteousness, peace, and joy. Churches are important in that they are the gathering of those who know the Lord. But the gathering makes the church, not visa-versa. So His Word goes out and grows righteousness, peace, and joy in the lives of many, who by the same gather together. So when our churches dwindle, we should review less our church making and maintaining skills, and review more our spreading righteousness, peace, and joy skills.<br /><br />Love you all,<br />Steve CoreySteve Coreynoreply@blogger.com
