What is church? How do we define it when our definitions change over time and can depend on a number of variables such as the passing of time and the experience of crises? When do we lose track of what it means and how? How do we bring meaning back to the word? I wasn't sure how to define church in early 2020, and if truth be told, before the lockdowns began, I didn't even know I would have to revisit the concept of church. |

We are continuing the blog series with content from biblical scholar Scot McKnight. |
Imagine two things as you read this passage. First, imagine the first two verses written on the front of an envelope. Those verses inform us of the sender and address as our envelopes do today. Second, imagine someone reading this letter aloud to the house churches in Philippi – in fact, not just reading but performing the letter in such a manner that you suddenly find yourself thinking you see Paul and Timothy and not the person standing there reading it. It is the reader's voice, but you hear Paul and Timothy. |

I have to admit up front that I'm not much of a "tips and tricks" guy—especially when it comes to spirituality. This isn't because I'm not looking for a life hack like everyone else. We all seem to be looking for nuggets of wisdom that will further our experiences, but the Bible is far more comprehensive than simply giving us a bullet list of ways to be blessed. That being said, there are rhythms to life, and finding the sweet spot is healthy and desirable. |
