Church time Tomorrow

Are you going to fellowship with a body of believers tomorrow?  Will we congregate and worship the Lord with thanksgiving?  When we feel that we must complain about the Church we should remember some things:

  1. The Church is the Bride of Christ and He loves Her
  2. The Church is the Body of Christ made up of believers and He will defend it
  3. The gates of Hell cannot prevail-they are rusted through and have no foundation
  4. No local church is perfect-after all you are there
  5. Be forgiving of your local Pastor-he is the leader of some smelly sheep
  6. Remember that both tares and wheat grow in the field
  7. Hypocrites are not confined to the church
I will end with this: No pastor ( or you ) lives up to what he preaches. If he does, he is preaching too low
Now go to bed and and get up ready to go and serve the Lord who has redeemed you
