Parts of the body

Have you ever wondered where the other parts of the body are and what they do? Have you ever tried to walk around with your eyes closed? You can't; sooner or later you will fall. Now, I'm not talking about the human body, but the Body of Christ. Often as believers we don't get the opportunity to travel and see other churches around the U.S. The body of Christ, his church, is made up of many parts. The bible says in 1 Corinthians 12:

21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

I have had the honor of getting to visit different churches throughout this first of week of my travels. I have really enjoyed what I have seen. One day I get to interact with an arm and the next day with a leg. Each church is an essential part of the body. Jesus is faithful as he builds his church around the world. It is a joy to see and be a part of. On Sunday, we were in Evans, GA at a neat church called West Acres Baptist church. (http://www.westacres.net/templates/cuswestacres/default.asp?id=31087)

From the time we were there until when we left, the people were so nice and helpful in every way. They really desired to serve. Worship was awesome since I haven't gotten to be a part of corporate worship in awhile. It is a great encouragement to see the body growing and maturing in the Lord. This place was different. There was a sincere heart for worship and brokenness. The people worshiped freely as the Holy Spirit brings freedom. The church had to go to two services because they were growing. People came to the altar to lay themselves down in sacrifice. Friends and family gathered around them in love and prayer. God was moving and bringing reconciliation to his people. Praise the Lord for being Truth.
