Praise God, NO TEMPLES

A friend of mine shared this passage at church Sunday and it has stuck with me all week. From Revelations 21 and it speaks of a day I can't wait for.

...No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of the sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is it's light. The nations of the earth will walk in [his] light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory it.

NO TEMPLE COULD BE SEEN IN THE CITY...

I've lived in Grand Rapids for more than 9 years now and no matter where I travel there is always more churches than McDonalds resturants. There's first and second and third and fourth reformed churches, and Bible churches (whatever those are) and Baptist, and evangelical, and evangelical free, and protestant reformed, and community churches (because all the others are not of the community) and we have Lutheran and Catholic churches... We have people from this church who don't like those from that because [insert stupid reason here]. And those people let women teach. That one is a cult. They don't believe the the elements are the actual body and blood... Those people don't even have classes before baptism.

Come Jesus, that your light might guide us back to truth, back to you, and back to unity.
