Church isn't a museum for good people, its a hospital for the broken. I L♡VE this!
I love this because I think its a great reminder that our churches need!
How many churches do you know that the vast majority of their ministry is "in house"? Those where, its hard to find the work they do that's not for themselves?
Are they reaching out to the broken? The poor? The people with tatoos, nose piercings, or a different color?
If you are a part of a congregation that does, congrats!! But, you're one of very few.
Many churches are all about what they are comfortable with. They are concerned with their image.
I mean, "God forbid someone visit our church and see we have members or other people sitting in our congregation that are "different". Those visitors might not come back!"
I don't know about you, but if I were visiting a church and saw diversity of ages, ethnicities, wealth, and social status I would stick around for a while!
Why? Because that means this church is open, loving, and is really working to get the Gospel to EVERYONE! -not just their peers, friends, and people who they consider to be on their own level.
We've got to get out of our MUSEUMS we've created and bring in these people that NEED the Gospel! That NEED to know that they are loved by us, and by Jesus no matter what they've done, who've they've done, where they've been, where they live, how much money they have, or if their house is clean or not!
GOD DID NOT TELL YOU TO PRESERVE YOURSELF! So get off the shelf of security, arrogance, and self worth and get out there and do something with what Gods given you!
People are sick! Sick at heart! Sick in spirit! ITS UP TO US TO HEAL THEM BY SHARING THE GREAT PHYSICIAN who can heal all wounds!!
I hope this gives each of you the motivation to break away from your safe place, what we have turned our churches into!
Have a blessed day and God speed!!
