As human beings, we tend to have ‘boxes’; we live in a ‘box’ (our house), we drive a ‘box’ (our car), we worship God in a ‘box’ (the church building). We are convinced, that in our ‘boxes’, we can have safe and happy lives, without worry.
But the truth is that happiness is not found in ‘boxes’. A happy and successful church is the one who is ready to go out of the ‘box’, in order to reach the world, just like the early church did.
