A Precious Gift
During my Romans Bible study last week, I stepped up on my soapbox and waxed eloquently about the importance of the visible church. It is a much overlooked and yet incredibly important aspect of Christian theology. It was Paul’s imagery of the church as the Body of Christ in Romans 12 that got me going last Wednesday, but really, the importance of the church is seen all over Paul’s letters (and John’s, and Peter’s and the Gospels).
