UNITY is building a temple

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.  Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the LORD; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.  ~ Ephesians 2:19-22

Charles Schulz, author of the Peanuts cartoons, once said, “How can you go to something that you are already a part of?  If you are a Christian, you are the Church.”
Someone else said, “That’s precisely my problem with the Church.  How can I believe that Christ founded it, when I see so many second-rate Christians mutilate its teachings so badly?”
To that, someone replied, “That’s like saying, ‘How can I believe in the musical talent of Beethoven, when I hear so many second-rate musicians mutilate his Ninth Symphony so badly?’ Beethoven’s music isn’t on trial; the second-rate musicians are.”  ~ Mark Link, S.J.

When people see us minister to God, they marvel at His beauty and power; but when they see what little impact He has in our lives, they laugh at what we believe.  Do you consciously maintain your bearing as a Catholic gentleman at all times?  What kind of witness to the Knights are you presenting to others?

The only way the world knows anything about Christ is by watching His followers.  ~ Steve Lawhead
