A church without walls is what I seek. The fellowship of souls praising and worshipping, giving thanks and allegiance to God the Father, without concern for the trappings of stained glass, stages, and expensive PA systems.
I've heard of the K.I.S.S. principle, which means "Keep It Simple Stupid". I'd like to "Keep It Simple Saint". May all the saints remember that we are saints NOT because we are good but because God is good.
God is not impressed with expensive sound systems, nor finely upholstered pews, nor elegant speeches that reveal only the eloquence of the speaker.
The church of every day is what I seek. The connecting of souls as we meet in the supermarket or the Post Office and offer each other the love of Christ. If the apostle Paul is right, that everyone including the heathen really do know God deep in their hearts, then I hope that Christ-love offered in the simplest way will touch that deeply buried knowledge and pluck it like a string, so that the knowledge of God begins to resonate in their hearts, and becomes the music of Heaven, clearly heard and impossible to ignore.
