Re: How is Christ building His Church?
Yes, it is in the realm of faith and not in the seen! I remember lamenting to a brother a while back about the condition of the church that we see - all the divisions, low testimony of life & love, etc. What he said stuck with me - "The church is just fine. Don't you think the Lord knew all that was going to happen and don't you think He has it all handled?!" This opened my eyes to see that it is in the realm of faith.
Man automatically wants to see some results - some big, outward manifestations. Some thing visible to point to and say, "See, He's clearly doing it there!" Then we either take credit or think we should jump in to help. This is the flesh.
