The Oneness of Worship and Funny Church Names
Religion has split the body of Christ into tens of thousands of different Christian churches, denominations, and organizations with many different names. But in John 17, Jesus prayed that His body would be one, just like He and the Father are one. He also wants believers to meet in His name.
Many of the names of organized churches are funny because there are so many of them. I googled "funny church names" and found these: Angel On Fire Chapel Of Peace, Church Of The First Born, Halfway Baptist Church, Cowboy Church, Original Church Of God, Hell Hole Swamp Baptist Church, Fire Baptized Holiness Church Of God Of The Americas, Old German Baptist Brethren New Conference, and Affirming Pentecostal Church International.
Even Babylon Bee got in on the fun by posting some pretty funny made-up names for churches, such as Holy Grounds (a coffee house church), Jiffy Church, Any Greek Word + Church, and The Church That's All About You.
Maybe it's time to remember what Jesus had in mind for His body. Instead of saying we are part of a small part of the body of Christ, let's just say we are part of the eternal body of Christ, which is not split up into different religious groups. Let's see that we are the same as all Christ-bearers around the world. Let's treat as our Christian sister or brother anyone who has Jesus living in them. Need some help with that?
