Living as a Body

What would it look like for a local church to function as a body instead of as individuals?

I Corinthians 12 tells us that when we are saved we are all baptized by the Spirit into the Body of Christ.  As such, we are all members of the Body – with the local church being a local manifestation of the Body.  The metaphor clearly suggests that we are to be working together, functioning together.  We are not simply to be individuals who pop in on Sunday morning for a time of worship.  So again my question to you:

    Very true, I think it is so sad that we act & think like we are the only ones there at church that is important to God. If we were more concerned about our brothers & sisters in Christ and worked to encourage them and up lift them. Just think what we could do for God’s kingdom. Great post!
