I love my church!!! Do you love your church? God loves His Church because it is the Body of Christ, where all motion and action of God proceeds from. His Church is you and I individually and corporately. The time is NOW that He is sending His servants, you and I, out quickly into the streets, lanes of the city, and your harvest field to compel four groups of people, the poor, the maimed, the halt, and blind to come into the House of God, and experience God's presence and provision, Luke 14:16-35
After doing that we then quickly go into the highways and hedges to compel the same four groups to come into His House so it may be filled. Why did God tell His servants to go these four groups of people??? Because He loved them and wanted them to come into His House where the church could help them become what God intended for them to be. He needs you and I to love His Church as much as He does!! God loves His Church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you love something you take care of it, you invest time and energy for it. You talk about it 24/7. "I love my church" isn't just a statement that I say just to get something out of it. I love my church because of the growth I've experienced. My church has done so much for me the least I can do is give back into it by helping take care of it. Watering the flowers outside of "church" time, replacing toilet paper in the women's restroom when it's not cleaning day, helping with toddlers when I'm not the teacher, etc. I have…
