Quote from C.H. Sturgeon, a Pillar of History, a General of God's Army....issues, imperfections, then scripture came for today, Isa.26:9-11. The middle portion of his statement, gave a "woe", in taking pleasure( pleasing venture) in bringing out imperfections in the church. Interesting, no one need take pleasure in that, we are all imperfect, but we could examine, consider, as Jesus brought the behaviors, attitudes, character and motives within the heart that are there to function in a better way as a body in Christ, so my question- what have we built, what structure have we gone along with in the church? Jesus fought against the structure in place with that day (all the rules, superiority etc) with the leaders. What is repeating today? Jesus does love His church. He's been with great tolerance. But we have to see and hear to change, to have unity in Christ. Have to be willing to talk, discuss, review, change, regroup, ponder, consider our ways to have better ways together. Commitment, Covenant, connections for correction, willingness in love to present better, not hurt, give condemnation, throw off, have offenses... how can light come through that?
