The CHURCH is not a building, but a bride!

So i hear all this talk about the church as a building! We go to church, how big is your church what is your church like?  It spurs me to write this! The Church is not a building, its not a denomination, its not a style, its not a preference, its what Jesus died for! Its the people of God! Matt 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.  The church Christ was talking about was His (ekklesia), a people!  His peole come in all colors, shapes and flavors!   Must we get upset because there are differnt styles of buildings, why must we feel like we have to pick sides?  Styles are for each minister to hear from GOd and do according to there heart!  Styles change and need to be relevant to the need of a culture in order to change it with the culture of the Kingdom of God!  The message is the real issue!  IF WE PREACH, TEACH, OR EQUIP IN ANYTHING BUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IT IS SIN! Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- Paul says don't listen even if an angel preaches it! Christ came for one purpose to restore what was lost! Luke 4:43 Our salvation wasn't lost but the Kingdom of God and the DOMINION man had over the earth was a lost revelation when, Adam ate the grapefruit! Noah wasn't granted dominion because it was lost! (Genesis 9:1)  Christ restored dominion and then died for an imperfect people (church) so we could be made right before God to live out the Kingdom of God on earth!  We must realize we are a people, and not just any people but when we are born again, we are born into perfection, sanctification, holiness, power and so much more! YOU ARE NOT LIKE ANYONE ELSE! YOU ARE DIFFERENT!!!! WITH DIFFERENT GIFTS, DIFFERENT PASSIONS, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES!  YOU ARE GODS FAVORITE!  You His (church) carry a unique piece of Gods heart that was not granted to another, but the same message to carry it out!  The message will sound different from different vessels but it has to be the same message.  We must recognize we are ONE CHURCH with ONE MESSAGE!  This will eliminate all divisions create a unity the world can't stop!
