IF WE ARE THE BODY...sung by Counting Crows

It's crowded in worship today as she slips in trying to fade into the faces

The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know

farther than they know

But if we are the body; why aren't His arms reaching

why aren't His hands healing; why aren't His words teaching

And if we are the body; why aren't His feet going

why is His love not showing them there is a way; there is a way

A traveler is far away from home; He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row the weight of their judgemental glances tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body; why aren't His arms reaching

why aren't His hands healing; why aren't His words teaching

And if we are the body; why aren't His feet going

why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much to high a price for us to pick and choose who should come and we are the body of Christ

If we are the body; why aren't His arms reaching

why aren't His hands healing; why aren't His words teaching

And if we are the body; why aren't His feet going

why is His love not showing them there is a way

If we are the body; why aren't His arms reaching

why aren't His hands healing; why aren't His word teaching

And if we are the body; why aren't His feet going

why is His love not showing them there is a way... Jesus is the way.

Evangelism to the lost is a very important part of Christianity. However, there are some who believe every sermon should be be for saving the lost. There are 2 parts in the Great commission. 1. Make disciples of all nations 2. Teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded.



About 90% of the NT commandments are for believers:



2 Timothy 3:16: "All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."



Ephesians 4:11-16: It was He {Jesus} who gave some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.



Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.{They teach the Prosperity Gospel and that its ok for women to teach men in the church-See I Cor 14:34,35; I Tim 2:10,11} Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."



I John 2:3-5: We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His Word, God's love is truly made complete in Him. This is how we know we are in Him!"



John 14:23: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, he will obey My Words. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him!":applause::angel::peace:

Well I like those lyrics but I also know what sort of stuff the counting crows sing and wright! I find it haed to believbe that they sing this song I am sure they do but I have never heard it and its hard for me not to take it the wrong way froma band who also recorded mr jones a song about sex and addiction and a friend of the devi is a fiend of mine a remake of an old gretful dead song! to the eys of the flesh it looks good but knowing where it originated makes me ill! Like they have taken great truthes and used the lord and the bad things some men do in his name to make money and sale records! Just an observation!
