The past week or so, I've seen a great deal on where the Church has messed up. No one can deny that there are issues with today's church that needs to be addressed and fixed. It's important to remember the church is only as effect as the people she is comprised of. If we want to fix the issues with the church, then is stands to reason, we MUST look at ourselves. Where are WE failing people? Where can we do better? Where can we be more sensitive? What is it in our own life that is lacking? What are we doing to make the Church a place non-believers would like to come?
The church is a wonderful thing. If done right, it gives healing, wholeness, encouragement, acceptance, strength and so much more to those who are willing to engage her. So, instead of what we view as lacking in today's Churches, what are some of those things we find good about it?
I will give a few and leave room for others...surely, even if you've been hurt from someone in the "Church" you had great experiences too.
Why I love the church (God's People)
1. I love the Church because when done right, it is the most powerful force on the planet! People's lives are genuinely changed when they come into contact with God's Church. Their lives are better as a result.
2. I love the Church because the time spent with God's people is the best time in the world. To have a community of believers gather in one place all for the same reason, there is nothing like it!
3. I love the Church because Jesus gave himself for her!

I love the church because it is a place of spiritual refreshing and renewal. After a long week of daily ministering to unbelievers, there's nothing like coming into God's presence again.
Anonymous,
I agree whole-heartedly! Thanks for stopping by and commenting :) I was beginning to think that no one had anything they loved about the Church :-)
I really look forward to meeting with God and His people each and every week!
