And we are. Right now we are building a community, God is building a community, that will benefit this neighborhood and this city. This community already has benefited many of you. It is also providing an outlet for you and me to serve our neighbors. Finally the third point I want to lift up.
Christians do say it that way.
The Church has given the impression that the world should look at us because we have all the answers. In fact the Church doesn't have all together now and it never has had. There was no pristine, innocent, and golden day. The Church of the Bible did not even have such a day and it didn't pretend to. He directed the beggars attention to what they themselves lacked.
