Working Together in Unheavenly Places
Matthew 28:16-20

Harry Emerson Fosdick was pastor of Riverside Church in New York when their magnificent new building was built. But the last Sunday in their old building, before moving into the new one, he said: "My friends, it is not settled yet whether or not the new church will be wonderful. That depends upon what we do with it. If in that new temple we simply sit together in heavenly places that will not be wonderful. But if we also work together in unheavenly places, that will be." He was right on target. The validation of what we do in here, is what we then do out there as a result.
