Just as a physically healthy person - at an ideal weight and with good blood pressure and cholesterol numbers - might not actually be fit enough to run a 5k, so churches can appear healthy - with no obvious issues, maintaining a healthy size - and yet not exhibit fitness.

Warning! Deadly Parasites Are Infecting the Church! The author writes, "Shortly after a major surgery, I learned that a rare parasite had been found in my body...I later learned that if the parasite had lived, it would have traveled to my eyes...

Having come to see Christ Jesus, we are now ready to see his church, about which Jesus had declared this: "I will build my [church], and hades' gates shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18b).
