Invoking the name of this someone throws the witness and strength of this web back into the past. But we must also throw the web into the future. You are still here today because there is someone who continues to believe in you today and tomorrow without the slightest waiver of commitment or love. That someone, of course, is God. The future strength of the web of faith is created as each individual confesses faith in Christ and experiences Christ's ongoing, future-leading presence in our lives.
Individual experience becomes one with the faith of the whole community.
It is this communal experience of faith that creates the web of the future for future generations. Our spiritual gifts work together, not to glorify our individual selves, but to build up this body, this web, which is the church, the Christ-body community. Let us thank God for believing in us and in our church. As members of the church, we can rightly claim for ourselves membership in the first and most powerful web site on an internet that was established more than two millennia ago. Our web site is unmatched in power, unhampered by time or space, unscathed by the attempts of hackers and attackers to destroy its connective tissue.
