Redeeming Church Conflicts

Church – A Community of Grace? Or a Community of Convenience?

Earlier this week, I was re-reading an article from 2009 and was struck again at the clear insights the author gives us re: whether our churches are communities of convenience or communities of grace. Please click through and view his (brief) chart:

Defective Church – A Community of Convenience

And then I pray that we will all remember that “the Church is not a community of conveniences. It does not exist for you to get served. The church is a community of grace that exists to serve one another, to bear with one another, to forgive one another, to love one another! The church is not a perfect product or service with a money back guarantee; it is a community of imperfect people clinging to a perfect Christ who are being perfected by grace.”

Amen & Amen!

 

I pray that we all enjoy and serve well our communities of grace during corporate worship tomorrow—

Blessings,
