Too long. Too short. Too big. Too small. Too tight. Too loose. These words describe most of the clothes I try on. Finding the perfect fit seems impossible.
Finding a church that is a perfect fit poses similar problems. Every church has something thats not quite right. Our gifts arent recognized. Our talents arent appreciated. Our sense of humor is misunderstood. Certain attitudes, beliefs, people, or programs make us uncomfortable. We feel as if we dont fit. We struggle to find our place.
We know, however, that God wants us to fit together with one another. The apostle Paul said we are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives (Eph. 2:22 NIV).
The believers in the church today, like the tabernacle in the days of Moses (Ex. 26) and the temple in the days of Solomon (1 Kings 6:1-14), are the dwelling place of God on earth. God wants us to fit togetherfor there to be no divisions in His church. This means that we, the building blocks, are to be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (1 Cor. 1:10).
No church will be a perfect fit, but we can all work at fitting together more perfectly.
