The church today is often viewed with negativity. To some degree, the church has brought this on herself but the truth remains that in spite of her mistakes and problems, the church remains the hope of the world because the church has been given the only message that can change the direction of a person's life and eternity, There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right and the local church is working right when Christ is its total focus. That is what the book of Colossians is all about. It shows that Christ is the supreme head of the church which is the only reason anyone needs to "give church a chance!"
