I’m a church guy. I’m a pastor, a Christian, a teacher and a
proud church member. As long as I’ve been a follower of
Jesus Christ, I’ve been a member of a local church.
It looks like things have changed. Many people just don’t
want to “join”” any church. One of the reasons given is they’ve
been
hurt or disappointed with the church. I get that. I’ve
been there too.
I love what Charles Spurgeon said. “If I had never joined a
church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never
have joined one at all; and the moment I did join it, if I had
found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been
a perfect church after I had become a member of it.
Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earth to us.”
I wish I had said that. I sure do feel that way too.
I’m on the Adventure,
Stan
