A Body, Family, Building, and Bride

Like us, the early Apostles didn’t see a glorious church. Instead, they saw the lack, the faults, and the failures. They didn’t see the church as though it might be glorious someday. To them, she already was glorious. Despite the disappointments, discouragement, and wounds many of us have suffered within the church, it is crucial to recognize that God is in the process of raising and equipping a beautiful Bride. We will be ill-prepared for what is coming on the earth apart from being a part of the church.
