Making Clear Some Misconceptions
The Church is not made of people who believe they are better than others, but rather it is made of those who realize they should be better than they are and must continually strive to do better always. The church is not made up of perfect people, but people who realize they are following a perfect Lord and a perfect law and therefore must do the very best they can. The church is not made of people who never make mistakes, but those who should acknowledge their mistakes and then forsake them. The church is not trying to withdraw from everyone, but rather trying to draw everyone to God. The church is not trying to set up arbitrary rules to hinder anyone but rather to show the rule of Christ which helps everyone. The church is not trying to take the joy out of your life, but rather it is trying to put real joy into every life it touches. The church is not trying to separate you from your money, but rather is trying to keep your money from separating you from God. The church is not trying to make you feel ugly, but rather trying to instill the beauty of holiness in your life. The church is not trying to become the master of your life, but rather trying to get you to master yourself in submission to God. The church is not trying to rob your life of priorities, but rather trying to get you to put the right priorities in your life.
The Church is where People are connected to God & to one another. Are You Connected?
