"So between the death of Christ and the Last Day it is only by a gracious anticipation of the last things that Christians are privileged to live in visible fellowship with other Christians."One of the main points in the message is that believers are able, in this life, to experience a foretaste of the eternal blessing that will be our inheritance in Christ, and that, apart from personal fellowship with Him, the primary means of experiencing that blessing is through giving ourselves to participation in our local church. I think Bonhoeffer understood that well.

alex, my comment is not about this particular post, but about the photograph at the top of your page - did you take that? if so, you definitely need to get it out somewhere - it's beautiful! if it wasn't you that took it, i still think you should put some of your photographs in a shop on etsy!
I wish I had taken that picture. I found it somewhere, though I may eventually change the picture at the top to something of my own.
