Whenever I leave church, I always say to myself, “What a great day in the house of the Lord.” I uttered those same words last Sunday after the services at the Peoria County Jail.

It was such a great day I couldn’t help myself. On the way home, I began pondering about what a church really is and came to the following conclusions:

-It doesn’t matter what the building is. What matters is who is the builder is.

-A church is not defined by its four walls it’s defined by its foundation.

-It’s not about what people are wearing what matters is that those attending are clothed in Christ.

I found myself thinking about the service the following week and all I could say was, “What a great day in the house of the Lord.”
