I came across this quote this morning as I was finishing up the book, The Deliberate Church by Mark Dever (pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington D.C.):
"Transformation into the likeness of the Lord happens as we gaze at Him together over time. The biblical hallmarks of church health - holiness, faith, love, sound doctrine - are cultivated in us as we are captivated by Him."
So as the Church of Jesus Christ universal and as local churches spread throughout the world, who are we looking at? Are we seeking to know Jesus and to be captivated by Him so that we can become like Him and glorify Him in all the world? I pray this is the case...that we may know Him!
