For we know in part and we prophesy in part but when perfection comes the imperfect disappears... Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part then I shall know fully... Throughout the ages the church is fundementally preserved by Chist (God is in control)  It is a living organism that is being changed not only as individuals(cells) in the body of Christ but also collectively as a corporate body into the image of Christ. What I see in the church today is the age old agruement from Pauls day...namely (I am of Paul and I am of Appolos) anotherwords I go to so and sos church and you go to so and so's and we do things this way and you do them that way.  What I dont see clearly  is the body of Christ united and cooperating with one another to Love God and Love people so that the gospel could be spread throughout the known world till Christ's return. Are we not to go about our Fathers' business no matter what the cost?  Are we so distracted by our comforts, our individuality, our own needs that we forget what we as a church are designed by God to do?  Have we strayed that far from the teachings of Christ and the Apostles that we've become complacent in our responsiblities as a collective body of Christ.  The fundamental problem of our church today is immaturity.  I hope that I have given some thought provoking insights to the church as we know it today so that we may learn and begin to unite in the work that we are called to do.  And that we may mature and change in Him collectively until He comes again.  In His Love and Care, Commoner
