The real question for us is "How does GOD want HIS church to look like?"
I believe with all of my heart, God wants to connect all of His churches together to be "the church of God". We have churches all over the nations, across the seas, etc. Yes! God wants us to all unify in ONE. I'm not saying that churches have to change all of their names, missions, etc. None of those. Im talking about all of us to stay tune to what God is doing all over the world. He wants the people in His church to stop fighting over the religions and how THEY want the church to look like. He wants us to step up and step out to serve our community, serve His people. We are members of a certain church, and we need to help build the church. I agree. However, we cannot miss the important point here. We all belong to the church of God.
Also, as a member of the church, I do want my church to grow bigger. But I think I miss what God is telling me. A massive amount of people come to God. That sounds great! Nevertheless, God does not only wants His church to grow in the amount of people, but He also wants us to grow spiritually. There are so many times in my walk with the Lord, I tell myself only if these people can come to God and be saved, that would be nice. Once more, God convicts me of what I think. He said He does not want people to come to Him just because they feel emotional or pressured after being preached at the service. He wants their hearts to be open and He wants to touch them with His Spirit and Love. Thats how He wants His people to turn to Him, not only their heads but also their hearts.
