We are called to "be" the church. Not go to church, but to be it. In action. This means to allow our actions to come out of who we are as a body of Christ. I heard it once said that" Going to church doesn't make us a Christian any more than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger. " It's true. We , as Christians,are always looking for the next Bible study or Sunday School class to teach us what we already know and is a part of us. God has already equipped us with all that we need to " make disciples" ( Matt. 28). When we begin to fulfill our purpose in the world as the missional people of God and "be", then world will start to change.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.

To Be or Not to Be
Jesus was incarnational. By that I mean he embodied all of the qualities of His father because He and His Father were one. Jesus refers to himself as "I am" because, simply put, He is. He never needed to become like His father, because He already is. It was a part of Him. All of His healings and miracles manifested out of the qualities of Himself.
