"Whether donning a clerical robe or greasy work overalls, doesn't the one and the same risen Christ in whole and equivalent measure live in you and all believers? Isn't it people God indwells, not buildings? When two or three believers are together encouraging one another in their journey with God, isn't Christ present in their community whether the geographical location is First Baptist, St. Peter's, or Starbucks? Maybe my greatest need isn't another sermon about Christian living, morality, and dos and don’ts. If the life of Christ is configured within me, isn't spiritual growth a matter of grasping the reality of that and being transformed through my intimate, personal, individual relationship with Jesus?"
