Recently the RBC EM ministry reviewed and decided on a new name for the group: One Community Church.
The name does not necessarily portray that our church is currently a true, one Christian community, but I believe it places the hope and dream, a vision for our community to achieve that goal, to be the one community of believers where the Love of Christ becomes evident to those around us and thus get to know God through the group.
It's interesting to note that the reason the church of Corinth could not achieve the unity; instead there was jealousy and quarreling among the group. And this is because they are acting like mere men.
We are the same. We all are mere men/women by nature, but Christ called us to be more than that, to be a mature Christian who can take solid food, not just mild from our leaders/pastors.
The problems that Paul was dealing early churches almost 2000 years ago still exist among us today, and in order for us to be different, we must be mature Christian, not looking for simply milk, but start taking in "solid food."
I think there are those of us who only wants to get what they want out of Church experience. Those who only want to hear what they want to hear from their pastors. But we need to be mature about things, and be able to train and encourage one another to grow more like Him, and at times it may mean we need to correct each other, and be able to take in "solid food", sometimes not so pleasant but all the more necessary to grow.
