The local church in America needs all the encouragement it can get. I know that no church is perfect. I know sometimes churches have problems. But, remember, spiritually speaking, the church is on the front lines. It is a spiritual battleground.
Sometimes we tend to drop the word spiritual and just make it a literal battleground. This is wrong. Church is meant to be a place of healing, help, and hope.
I urge you, encourage your church leadership. Pray for your membership. Promote the gospel ministry. Regardless of foibles, flaws, or failures, the church is still the means by which Jesus Christ is reaching a lost and dying world.
AMEN!
