The Spiritually Self-Seeking Church

Till we all come. . .to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:13

The church ceases to be spiritual when it becomes self-seeking, only interested in the development of its own organization. The reconcilication of the human race according to His plan means realizing Him not only in our lives individually but also in our lives collectively. We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own or to enjoy a quiet spiritual retreat. We are here to have the full realization of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of building His body.
