You cant box God up in religion. You cant box Jesus up in Christianity. You cant box church up in a building. You cant box faith up in a set of beliefs. You cant box grace up in conditions. The Kingdom of God isnt boxed up in our churches. Imagine church without pulpits or pews, creeds or confessionalsno membership, plate-passing, pledges, vestments, heavenly choirs, or altar calls. Without buildings to maintain or staff to sustain, the church no longer is seen as a private club or guilt-trip haven to heaven. Instead, its focus is on caring and sharing, living here-and-now, not in the hereafter. Rather than part of our worldly empires, the church has become their antithesis. From guts to glory, the church begets reform.
