The Church
The church is not made up of people who believe they are better than others,
but rather it is made up of those who realize that they should be better than
they are and must continually strive to do better always.
The church is not made up of perfect people, but people who realize they are
following a perfect Lord and a perfect law and therefore must do the very best
they can.
The church is not made up of people who never make mistakes, but those
who often acknowledge their mistakes and then forsake them. Never must we
seek to justify them or continually make the same mistakes over and over
again.
The church is not trying to withdraw from everyone but rather to draw every-
one into its fellowship and love who are willing to walk in the light where God
the Father and Christ the Son are found.
The church is not trying to set up arbitrary rules to hinder anyone but rather
to show the rule of Christ which helps everyone.
The church is not trying to take the joy out of your life, but rather is trying to
put real joy into every life it touches.
The church is not trying to make you feel ugly, but rather it is trying to instill
the beauty of holiness in your life.
The church is not trying to separate you from your money but rather is trying
to keep your money from separating you from God.
The church is not trying to become the master of your life but trying to get you
to master yourself. The church is not trying to rob your life of priorities, but
rather trying to get you to put the priorities in your life.~
