In church today we celebrated the 100 year anniversary of our church building.
This stimulated thoughts of how much longer we would be meeting in this building.
In the District of Boroondara three churches have closed in the last couple of years and the buildings will be sold.
The church in Mornington is a restaurant.
The church in Carnegie is an art gallery.
This made me wonder what would happen if there were no more churches at all.
But the thought came into my mind that the body is the temple.
I would be the locale of God's presence in the world.
And this is confirmed by scripture - 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Peter 2:4,5.
And so we will be temples of living stone.
