In my 20 years of pasturing I've never found a perfect church. Someone said if you did find the perfect church, as soon as you joined it wouldn't be perfect because you aren't perfect. What do you add to the Church to help it be more perfect. What are you doing to help your church become less critical. I've pastured churches in Illinois, Missouri and Ohio and I have found that churches are the same.
Problems are the same.
The challenges are the same. The church need less critical people and more encouragers, who do God's Will through love, not critical judging. As much as we criticize the church, we must remember that the Church is God's People. A church can never be more than its members. A church can never grow beyond its leaders, but it also will never be anything more than what its membership is individually.
