Redeeming Church Conflicts

Communities of Convenience vs. Communities of Grace

February 10, 2009 /

Life Together just posted a link to a fantastic article on churches as communities of convenience vs. communities of grace.

A quick glance at the four-line chart is SO worth the 15 second read. But be forewarned–it is so profound that you may be thinking about it a LOT as you go throughout your day. I sure am.

Gratefully,
 Tara B.
