We come seeking a place of peace and gentleness, and we often find conflict, power struggles, bickering, and fighting. We come seeking a place where we will be encouraged, but instead, we may find condemnation, backbiting, gossip, and putdowns. Instead of unity, we sometimes find division, fracture, and brokenness. Churches are us. Because we are imperfect, so are our churches.
Church is a living organisma body.
As a result, when the body is sick with any form of problems, it experiences pain and hurts. Churches are us. Because we are imperfect, so are our churches. How we handle problems in our personal lives and in our church life determine whether we are positive witnesses for God. Perhaps a meeting is called, and soon the telephones become busy.
