The ideal church in the scriptures is a united church, where all people live in fellowship and nobody criticizes but all work for the good of others and for spreading the gospel.

 The ideal church worships and intercedes, nobody is lazy or absent from the work and responsibilities.

The ideal church is the one where everybody is holy and healed of all spiritual illness, giving no place for hate or envy, depression and disrespect.

The ideal church is submissive to the democratic leadership, friendly and a source of power.

But there is also the real church, today’s church, the visible church, terrestrial church where we live and realize.

Think about the ideal church this week. In the next bulletin, we’ll talk about the real church.
