Okay, play on words My own post in the M&E folder got me to thinking. As I stated there, I visited a secular marriage forum and couldn't stomach some of the conversations(nothing was blatantly vulgar) unless you consider the mind and thoughts of the "lost." One post was titled, "Should I tell my wife that my girlfriend is pregnant?" I told my husband how much I really appreciate this Christian forum despite our differences, and debates. There is a huge difference between those who profess Christ and those who don't even though it's painfully apparent that we're not perfect.

So, do tell, what's the best part of being a part of the body of believers despite any disappointments you've experienced with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ?

I can answer both questions in one word; 'people'. The body Jesus Christ is a place where one can find consolation(and be a consoler), confess(and be a confessor)and find a confidant(and be a mentor). The disappointments I've found are generally in my own expectation. That's not their or the church's fault in fulfilling my expectation.

The best part is the empathy that we share. And the fact that we can all agree and confess the goodness of God

Took the words right from my mouth. I believe that we have the knowledge, knowing that we have to answer Him someday and we strive to please and serve Him in whatever capacity He gives us.

Worship in unity. Incredible.

As in the words of that august hymn, "Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine."

Sometimes we sing hymns over a thousand years old. The meter is a little odd, but we are standing with people who long ago loved and adored their God. We are the Church, and we love our Savior who is coming back for us.

When I say "the Church" I mean every person who ever believed or believes in God, dead or alive now. Some day we will all gather at the foot of God's throne, and the worship will be spectacular!

Absolutely!!!!!

I've often marvelled, during worship at my own church and those times that I've gone to large conferences, at the thousands of people, all on one accord, worshiping our God. It's an awesome sight!
