- Some people think the Church is an event.
- Some people think the Church is a living organism on mission for Christ.
- Some people think the Church exists to anesthetize us from our dysfunction.
- Some people allow the Church to drag our dysfunction into the daylight and watch it shrivel in the light.
- Some people embrace the idea that we are all equal.
- Some people pray to God how thankful they are that they aren’t like the guy praying next to them.
- Some people ask God "what can I get away with and still follow Christ?"
- Some people forsake everything to follow Him.
- Some people experience redemption and want the world to know the same.
- Some people have a cultural church experience yet have never humbled themselves before the Creator.
- Some people find forgiveness and then run away to throw in prison those who owe them something.
- Some people are forgiven of much and demonstrate forgiveness to others.
The Church is a beautiful thing! It is redeemed by the grace of God. It is dispatched by the Christ of our salvation. It is empowered by the Holy Spirit. When I look at myself, I can’t believe that I have privilege of being a part of this Body. Truly amazing!

I guess that I can say the same. It is amazing to be part a HIM.
That is why I praise, thank HIM, and love HIM as deeply as I do.
