call to prayer

how do we measure? what's our meter?
why, that'd be prayer...
Wednesday prayer times and special prayer times "...ARE THE CHURCH."

what I mean is that the church is the "Gathering." and the "gathering" is distinctly to be around the person of Jesus. Not around a leader, or an informational message, or a rote creed, or a comforting tradition...
We have all of those things operating among us, here, but the real "measure" of the Church here is that gathering which lacks any distinction other than the person named Jesus seated, no--enthroned--among us.

That distinguishes the times of prayer, waiting, seeking, crying out, and exposing ourselves to Him as the measure of this church. I hope that everyone who reads this realizes that this is the lifelong standard for us all.
