Hi All,

I am in community with Brant in Jupiter. I wanted to respond to “Christian’s” post. I think the difference is one of perspective. It’s the difference of going to church or being the Church. If someone with no Christian experience at all, they’ve never been to church, never heard the Gospel, and had no access to Christians somehow found a Bible, read it and decided to follow Christ, what would that person do? I suggest he or she would would start to learn to love their neighbor as him/her self.

Do the work of Christ. Be a Christian.

-John

I thought it was a very refreshing discussion…
