Psalm 92:6-8 - Dumb & Dumber=>No. Invisible & Christ = Yes

"[The Church's] entire structure is inward in the presence of God, invisible"

Psalm 92 Verses 6 thru 8
6       The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: 
   7       that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, 
   they are doomed to destruction forever; 
   8       but you, O LORD, are on high forever. 

AELW 11:229
"This is so because Christ’s work and creation, the church, does not appear to be anything outwardly, but her entire structure is inward in the presence of God, invisible. And so it is not known to physical eyes but to spiritual ones, in the understanding and faith. But the senseless despise her, because they know only what is outwardly impressive, as is stated in what follows, When the wicked shall spring up as grass (v. 7), as if to say: “Your work does not have the appearance and is not blooming as those people want it to flourish. And so they are scandalized and offended by it.”
