When we can rightly assume that those within a church
are regenerated, and that those who are regenerated are
committed to the church, then the New Testament images
of the church can be vividly illustrated in our congregations.
In His goodness, God has called us to live out the Christian
life together, as our mutual love and care reflect the love and
care of God. Relationships imply commitment in the
world: surely they imply no less in the church.

In the third commandment (Exodus 20:7;
Deuteronomy 5:11), God warned His people not to take
His name in vain. Far from simply prohibiting profanity,
this command prohibited taking God’s name upon oneself
in vain, emptily, to no purpose, or to a wrong purpose.

This command is for us in the church. Many churches
today are sick. We mistake selfish gain for spiritual growth.
We mistake mere excitement for true worship. We treasure
worldly acceptance rather than live so as to incur worldly
opposition. Regardless of their statistical profiles, too many
churches today seem unconcerned about the very biblical
marks that should distinguish a vital, growing church.

The health of the church should be the concern of all
Christians, particularly of those who are called to be leaders
in the church. Our churches are to display God and His
glorious Gospel to His creation. We are to bring Him glory
by our lives together. This burden of display is our awesome
responsibility and it is our tremendous privilege.
