Daily Scripture
Church is optional or Church is essential (1 Corinthians 12:18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.)
“The scriptures picture the church as an essential, chosen organism in whom christ dwells…” (Greg Ogden (transforming discipleship)
Without a covenantal understanding of a believer’s relationship with a community, discipleship flounders.
