State-of-the-Art
...these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts from Me. Isaiah 29:13

In 2009, Dallas Cowboys' owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, forked out a little over $1 billion to build a state-of-the-art stadium with the largest Jumbo Tron in the world (seven stories high), artwork all over the stadium, retractable roof, platform decks, party suites, 120-foot high glass doors, and an average ticket price of $160 to get in. In similar fashion, the New York Yankees got a new stadium boasting a price tag of $1.3 billion with such amenities as aqua pools, state-of-the-art weight room, full-service kitchen, lounging area, 59-by-101-foot video scoreboard and 1,100 monitors scattered throughout the stadium. But despite the opulence, the expense, and the attention to detail, those stadiums simply cannot produce Super Bowl- and World Series-winning teams. That job is up to the players and coaches.
In the same way, modern facilities, amazing programs, and award-winning worship teams don't make a church spiritually alive; that job is up to the members. By uniting in faith and being dedicated to each other, the community, and the world, church members create a healthy body of Christ in which ministry can thrive, hurting people can heal, and lost souls can find the love of God.
Unity is necessary among the children of God if we are going to know the flow of power...to see God do His wonders.
