The church in proclamation

Dave Bish asks what quality characterizes Christian communities who actually love the church:

One thing seems to be that they include church in the gospel. There's none of the it's just about me and Jesus stuff that thrives in an individualistic culture. The future has a church - God's plan is to gather a people. It always has been that way since he gave Adam & Eve the cultural mandate on page 1 of the Bible.

That sounds right.
