church - what is it?? part 2

Church is a network of groups and people
A multiplicity of relationships
It is people gathering to share life
to share truth of the moment
to encourage others
and to be encouraged themselves
taking each person deeper into their relationship with the Father
It is a building together of the people, through relationship
and so becoming a habitation or dwelling-place
for the Father
for as He dwells within each one of us
so then He dwells throughout the church
It is not understood in the mind or understanding
but it is held in the spirit
It is not tied down or confined by understanding
but free to evolve, develop, and extend
not by the hands of men
but in the hand of the Father
