"The church is far from perfect. Life is complex. There are growing options. And the post-modern mind distrusts most things organized or institutional. But as trendy as the idea of writing off the church may be, it’s a mistake."
Let's start by saying we are all guilty of being at least one of these people sometimes. This post is a great opportunity for us to pray for God to show the areas of our lives that don't parallel the Gospel and how we can pray to be a Church that glorifies Christ!
Even now, as some people read these words, their quills will rise and the claws will come out. They will buck up defensively and begin justifying their behavior without even trying to absorb the rest of my thoughts.
