Is the church a storage unit, or the Kingdom of God.

I have been thinking lately about my understanding of church and its relationship to life. We as westerners don't quite grasp the concept of kingdom. But one thing that we have done well in America and Europe is collect and store. Almost all across our nation you can find nice buildings with crosses, or even a contemporary space which could be a warehouse turned church. But are we agents of change or storage units. The word of God is very clear that we are to be salt and light, but can we effectively display this in our facilities. I am challenged in my understanding to connect with the world in which I live. May I no longer hide in a building on Sunday to show others the information I have stored in the boxes of my mind. I want to be in a kingdom, not a storage unit.
