The Church Is The Body Of Christ
May 30, 2018
The church of Jesus Christ is the body of Jesus on this earth. Don’t let that go over your head. That is not incidental. It is a fundamental truth that Jesus Christ inhabits His church. He is alive and well. We are His spiritual body.
People ask, if He were here, “What would Jesus do?” Friend, He is here. He lives in us, and if we don’t understand that, we will live superficially and not supernaturally. We are called to be supernatural.
It will be a great day when we learn that Jesus doesn’t want us to do anything for Him. He wants to do something through us. You say, “Dr. Rogers, you’re playing with words.” No, I am not. Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
Faith is not something we conjure up—it is a gift given to us.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
