註釋To serve the church is as close as we are able to come on this earth to physically serving Christ himself. The church...is the presence of Christ on earth today...I have fallen in love with the church. One of the most misunderstood of God's works is what He means to accomplish through His church. Why is it that God values His church so much? Why is it that He has invested so much in what we often see as an unreliable and self-serving organization? Despite the fact that in the church today we see merely a shadow of the promise of what God intends, we do have a great deal written in the Bible both about the present state of the church and of its future. In Portraits of the Church, author Donald Rhody explores the present state of the church and how our misunderstanding of what God is doing often causes us to act in ways that do not harmonize with His plan. If we would better understand the Lord's ultimate goal for the church, we could better serve Him in this work. In so doing, we will also better see what God is accomplishing, and we will be amazed!
