You Are Not an Only Child

A lineage, a priesthood, a nation, a village.  This is how 1 Peter 2:9 refers to Christians.  Many, apparently, are leaving the church . . . not the faith, just the church.  Snubbing the formal gathering of believers.  Why anyone would choose to snub their siblings and only have a relationship with their father is beyond me. 1 John 4:20 says that our fellow believers are visible representations of God.  We cannot snub them without snubbing God.
