Church, we are more than we have been told. We are more than brick and mortar, more than saccharine lyrics to re-run melodies. We are more than religious self-help, whose greatest hope is to survive. We are more than dreamers in pursuit of dreams that are bound to our small imaginations. We are more than an institution that has lost its relevancy and is struggling to rebuild its tower of Babel.
We are the Bride of Christ. Loved beyond measure, with no borders to His patience, forgiveness, and grace. We are never beyond repair. Never out of the reach of His transformation.
I believe the Church in America is being romanced by Jesus. We are being redefined as His Bride, and only His Bride. We are being ravished by Him – called by name.
This spoken word poem/skit reminds me of who I am as a friend of God. I hope it does the same for you.
