My experience as a church member was getting dull. I wished to feel love and joy. Thankfully, God heard my desire and answered it with a spiritual breakthrough. I started to understand better what Church really is. I got some surprises, and, now that my love and joy are restored, I would like to share what came to me.
With empty seats at services, a declining membership, and unsatisfactory activity, it appeared there was something wrong with my church. This outlook continued until one day when it was recommended that I study the definition of Church in Science and Health. As I did so, it hit me that the Church I was reading about is God’s Church, the only true Church there is, and there could be nothing wrong with it. (See the definition of Church.) I’d say this definition gives us a description of the most glorious institution on the face of the earth. And it can act as an operating manual for Christian Science branch churches.
