The Glorious Church

[paul]

Thought that would get some attention.


Just wanted to say that over the past couple of months I have witnessed some wonderful happenings in the Body of Christ. It has once agan cause me to lift my head and be proud.

As I mentioned yesterday in San Diego all the organizations coming together to fight for the marriage bill here in California.

I watched a video of Pastor Greg Lourie and his sunday message following his son's death. " I still believe "

Recently with Phil Driscoll at our local church and the change in his life and the love he expressed toward his son and family.

Larger ministries being there for him on his release to help him begin to rebuild his ministry, offering a hand instead of a slap.

The youth mission teams, as I watch so many youth dedicating their lives to servanthood, taking the baton of this message of Christ to the world.

In the mist of all the darkness and critizium the light shines through brightly.

If X=Xristos=Christ=Anointed One=Messiah=Jesus
then given Bo(X)=Xs
and Br(X)=Xs
and Ec(YHVH) or (Ec (X)akaTW)=Xs
then Br(X)=Bo(X)=Ec(X)=Xs

hehehe
nope. (though I had been recently studying Augustine's work on signs and things in "On Christian Doctrine") I used this formula in a recent sermon, teaching on Pauls analogy of the Body, and unity.
some more variable settings might help:
TW="The Way"
Xs=X(sub-s)=Christians
Ec=Ekklasia=total congregation=all the assembly=the church
YHVH=tetragrammaton=Name of God
Br=Bride=analogous to Ec=Bo=analogous to Xs
Bo=Body=analogous to Xs=Br=analogous to Ec

does that help?
