A Lesson from our Nerves

One of our unique systems God designed for us is our nervous system. Because of our nervous system we can experience touch, a sense of smell and taste, sight, respond to danger and more. Our nervous system acts as the communication lines for our body. Each part uses those lines to communicate to the central processor - our brain. When those lines are broken, this path of communciation is interrupted and we face significant consequences.

God has also designed the church in such a way that we each are a part. We may be the feet, the eyes, the ears, the hands and more. Jesus is the head of the church. For a church to be healthy there needs to be a solid communicating relationship between the parts and with the head. When communication is broken either between the different parts or with the head, this creates major problems.

Sometimes the parts may be communicating but sending messages that have corrupted information - such as gossip, grumbling, slander, and more. This destroys the health of the body.

How would you describe your most recent communication to other members of Christ's church?
