Near perfection

Are you someone who notices all the flaws in your church or do you see the potential in your church and it’s members?

Because we as we as individuals are imperfect, so our churches are also imperfect. Therefore I am never quite sure why some move from one church to another citing failures in the church or its members are their reason for moving, because isn’t it us as members of a church who contribute to that church being imperfect?

Nicky Gumbel sums up my thought well in this quote:

Stop looking for a perfect church. It does not exist. Join an imperfect church and serve in every way you can to make it nearer perfection
