Breaking Down Walls

"But will God indeed dwell on the earth?  Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!" 
-I Kings 8:27 (NASB)
Recent polls, surveys, and writings all point to a decline in church attendance and membership in recent years.  Several articles point out that the "millennial" generation, overall, prefers to identify with a cause and with organizations that work for a cause in the community.  These articles state that many churches are viewed as too "inward", focusing on sustaining themselves and not on active work in the community.

In I Kings (8:27), we are reminded of the greatness and glory of God.  Our churches are housed in buildings that require attention and care, but these buildings cannot contain God!  We should not try to put God in a box that we create.  As a church, the entire body of believers needs to be a people of action.  We need to break down or move outside the walls of our church buildings so that others can see God's love, caring, and power as we work to improve life on and after earth!

Break down the walls and free the church as a powerful force for God's Kingdom in the community around you!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for supporting me with Your power and drawing me closer to You with Your grace and mercy.  Help me to break down the walls that prevent me from showing Your love to others around me.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
