Roots
We are resource for the church a network of pastors, servants and rebels. We stand in support of the church universal.
The church is where we have all come from and without it Christianity would not exist today.
Romans 11:16-18
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
If we deny the church because of some things that we do not like about it then we are chopping down the entire tree on which we are grafted into. We can not throw away the church nor do we need to start over we merely need to harness the power of the Spirit of God to unify and inspire.
In doing that we empower believers to make their local assemblies better. By rejecting the status quo that tradition and religion have placed upon the church we strengthen the body of Christ and build it up for His glory.
