Churches in Cambridge

“The thing about having a gym membership is that it's not free. Right? You pay your fees and for those fees, you get to go use their gym facilities and you don't have to sweep or mop after yourself or keep the walls painted or maintenance from the machines. All that's taken care of for you. Right? So it's a you pay for it and you get a benefit. And unfortunately, people think of the church in the same way. If I come to church and I give my tithes and I go home, then I've done my duty. But that's not the way the church operates.”

“Sure, you could be a member without doing anything but you won't be a biblical member. We must be active. No parts of our body get to take days off. Right? Wouldn't it be terrible if you woke up in the morning and you're like, man, my gallbladder has just decided it's gonna take the day off. It's not how life works, is it? Trina says, well, mine's mine's gone. So but parts of your body don't get to just take a day off. Now granted, unless you're healing. Right? If you break a leg, your leg's gonna take some time off. Right? But to be unwilling to serve the church brings harm to the body.”

“You see, for us to do anything we do and not have love, it's meaningless. If we do it for personal benefit or for others' approval, it's just a loud noise. If we do it to further the church and to further one another, then look at what verse four through six says. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not envy. It does not boast. It is not arrogant. It is not rude. It is not self seeking. It is not irritable, and it does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.”

“Grab it with the other hand to stop the bleeding. Right? Parts of the body come together to serve itself. Maybe that's driving you to the hospital if it's real bad or just getting a band aid. And meanwhile, the cells around the cut are healing it. When one part of the body suffers, the rest of the body helps it to heal. Why? Because it's your body. We care for our bodies. We know we function better when we support one another and when we're all healthy.”
