Last week Jillynn, the family and I were at CiCi's pizza eating dinner. Jillynn noticed a girl wearing a shirt that read "DON'T GO TO CHURCH". At first we were put back by this. How could she wear something like that. Who does she think she is. What we didn't see was the back of the shirt. On the back it read "BE THE CHURCH". As we left I told the girl that I liked her shirt, she asked if I read the back, I said yes. As we left CiCi's my mind raced with this thought.
How many of us get caught up with just going to church, just going because we have to, or feel obligated to go, or that hot girl or boy are there. It's time for our students to stand up and not just "go to church" but "be the church". The last 2 weeks we been looking at this verse in 1 Timothy 4:12; about how we are the "standard" for others in our speech, life, love, faith and purity. It's crazy to think that 3 simple words could have such a huge meaning. "BE THE CHURCH"
