“…so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Rom12.5 ESV
It seems so very strange when your own body has turned against you. Cancer cells are rogue cells. They go their own way, do their own thing, and by doing so they not only fail to contribute to the health of the whole they sap life from it. It is entirely possible for each of us to exist as a healthy cell to the body of Christ or else a rogue cancer cell. There is no doubt that we are connected to one another whether we know it or not. And, as such, we are contributing either unity of life and health or sickness and death. God has made us our brother’s keeper. Every child should be able to call every mature woman mother, every mature man father, and all others brothers and sisters. We are a living tribe, meant to share each other’s trials, and joys. God wake us to this. Let us commit ourselves to church without walls, and work for the spiritual and physical health of those around us. Let us live each day with dynamic interaction, taking sincere interest in each other’s well being and using what resources we have to love one another. 11/20/2008 ts
