But you are a chosen people, set aside to be a royal order of priests, a holy nation, God’s own; so that you may proclaim the wondrous acts of the One who called you out of inky darkness into shimmering light.
1 Peter 2:9-10The Message (MSG)
9-10 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

And that's why i have an elaborately empty church here...for the church is only alive as the salt & Light of the World when the Light of Christ shines through His people.
And just to be clear: It's never rituals, or bling, or craftsmanship...but How Alive in Christ is the church.
