Three kinds of Churches - Heads Hands and Hearts

What should the focus of our churches be? Are we to emphasise head (doctrine, things you believe and the truth you believe), hands (works of mercy) or hearts (love)? We ought to stand back and comprehend the picture Scripture paints. "The shape of the Gospel is triune because God is triune." In other words God is the Gospel and in Christ we ought not to ignore the head, hands or hearts. They are all important. Our approach must be distinctly Trinitarian. The Trinity must shape our understanding of man, the world and God. All three categories (head, hands, heart) are necessary, important and are found together in Christ. Christianity is distinctly Trinitarian and the shape of the Gospel is triune; we cannot reduce it to any of the categories but must accept it as shaped by the triune God of the Bible. To do anything less is reductionistic and missing the point. If our picture of the Gospel is not seen through a Trinitarian lens we are merely looking at the back of a tapestry and marvel at the random coloured tangle BUT in doing so we miss the grandiose work art work on the right side up!
