God has called us to be His church, His body. Although we may be different, with varying gifts, backgrounds, experiences, and needs, our collective ministries are to unify us under the lordship of Jesus Christ, that He might be glorified. The Apostle Paul writes, “For just as the body is one and has
many members, and all the members of the Body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…” (I Cor. 12:12&13). When all the parts of the body are working together in accordance with their gifts, the Church is unleashed to be an incomparable force in the world
