"Here's the church and here's the steeple. Open the doors and see all the people!" It is a hand game many of us learned as a child. Bottom line: the church is people. As it states in my old catechism: "The holy Christian Church is the communion of saints, that is the whole number of believers in Christ; for all believers and only believers, are members of this Church. (The Invisible Church.)"
So who do we want to be a part of the church? Everybody. All people. Jesus said it quite simply, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." It is all about people.
That is where you come in. You are not the Holy Spirit and you cannot change the hearts of people, but you are a believer in Jesus Christ. You can share what Jesus means to you in what you say to people and how you live your life. You are letting your light shine.
