Amazing Grace

"A church is a community of God's people who live into the imagination that they are,
by their very nature, God's missionary people living as a demonstration of what God plans to do in and for all of creation in Jesus Christ." --Alan Roxbourough

Y o u (the Church) are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that y o u may proclaim the excellencies of him who called y o u out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once y o u were not a people, but now y o u are God's people; once y o u had not received mercy, but now y o u have received mercy.
--from 1 Peter 2 (wherever you see y o u... think plural... Y'ALL!)
