"you don't GO to church, you ARE the church"
what does that statement make you think of when you read it? do you just say, "well, duh!", or do you say, "what are you talking about?"

today in this God soaked moment of life ...
... i will be incompetent.
... i will be fully present to the person in front of me, and to the Lord over me.
... i will be Christ to others.
... i will see Christ in others.

AVB recorded a song with this theme a long time ago. I think it was on the "Whats Your Tag Say?" CD.
after reading jd's comment i went and googled that cd and this is probably the song that he was referring to, i like it, but i wish i could download it somewhere (thanks jd):
U Can't Go 2 Church
Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1990 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
This song also appeared in Spanish as "La Iglesia" on Caminando en la Luz by AVB
Lead: Max Plaster
Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
You can't go to church as some people say
The common terminology we use everyday
You can go to a building, that is something you can do
But you can't go to church 'cause the church is you
'Cause the church is you
It seems quite odd the expressions that we make
When the meaning's lost through the phrases that we take
To friends in the church who will never think twice
'Bout the words we may use that can sound so nice
Repeat Chorus 1
'Cause the church is you
A "Born-Again Christian" is a term some choose
A redundant phrase in the language we use
So please think about this question my friend
How can you be a Christian 'less you're born again?
Chorus 2:
You can't go to church as some people say (some people say)
The common terminology we use everyday (everyday)
You can go to a building, that is something you can do (It's something, but you can't)
But you can't go to church 'cause the church is you
'Cause the church is you ('Cause the church is you)
We can all play around with the Christian games
Or we can call Bible things by Bible names
We should say what we mean, we should mean what we say
But can you go to church today? (Can you go to church today?)
Can you go to church today?
You can't go church as some people say
The common terminology we use everyday
You can go to a chapel, you can sit on a pew
Repeat Chorus 2
'Cause the church is you (Yes, the church is you)
'Cause the church is you ('Cause the church is you)
'Cause the church is you (Yes, the church is you)
Scriptural Reference:
"What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church." 1 Corinthians 4:26
