"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also." ~1 John 4:18-21

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
~1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

On Sunday (11/22) at Watermark, we were exhorted to go beyond merely attending church. "Attendees" are what cause outsiders to compliment our buildings as if brick and mortar were the church. Instead, from the words of Scripture, we were called to BE the church, so that people inside and out identify the church with those who were chosen "before the foundation of the world" to be "living stones" who "offer up spiritual sacrifices" and "proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light" (Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 2:5,9c).

A friend recently inspired a thought of people -- each of us -- as canvases and portraits. Though this is obviously not a new idea, yet it provides an interesting perspective on our lives a followers of Christ. Herein follows the fruition of that seed. May it be a blessing for the glory of God.
