“you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house” – 1 Peter 2.5

What kind of a church would you dream of being a part of? What would it look like and what would it do? It’s very common for people to think of a church as a location, name, leadership, administrative staff, or worship service. Although all of these play a role in shaping a church, the scriptures make it clear that a church is actually the sum total of the people of the church. This means that you are I are RHC!

In the light of this, let us then ask ourselves: what is RHC like? What kind of a ‘spiritual house’ is being built by the living stones of our personal lives? God has called us to shine His light and be ambassadors of His Kingdom here in Singapore. Here are some questions to help us consider what kind of a church we really are:

A) Regarding our understanding of the gospel: When faced with your own failure or weaknesses, do you tend to 1) make excuses, 2) try harder or 3) thank God He’s accepted you as you are in Christ and trust in Him to transform your heart?
B) Regarding devotion to Christ: Will you do absolutely anything that God asks you to do? Is there anything that you wouldn’t do for God?
C) Regarding separation of faith from the rest of life: What does it really mean to be a Christian in your profession / role / life stage?

One of my prayers for 2012 is that God would build up this ‘spiritual house’ by setting our hearts ablaze in passionate, thoughtful devotion to Him. Will you join me in praying for this, but more importantly being this, because at the end of the day, we are RHC.
