We celebrated our 41st anniversary as a church on Sunday and, as expected, we had a great day! I want to thank all of those who helped and those who supported us with their attendance. If you missed it–well, “You missed it!” I was blessed and I hope the same can be said of all.
I get tired of hearing about what’s wrong with the church, and I suggest that you quit listening to the critics. We would all fare better if we thought more about what’s right with the church–if fact that is what I preached about. Maybe a review would be helpful. Here’s the six things I mentioned:
1.IT’S FOUNDED ON THE RIGHT FOUNDATION
2. IT FOLLOWS THE RIGHT BOOK
3. ITS FOCUS IS ON THE RIGHT PERSON
4. ITS FELLOWSHIP IS SWEET
5. IT’S FAITHFUL TO GOD’S PATTERN
6. ITS FUTURE IS IN THE RIGHT HANDS
Although we are far from perfect, these six facts give us reasons to rejoice. When you hear a critic you might mention these things—they can’t be said of ever group that calls itself a church. Think about it!
