What’s the 1st image in your head when you hear the word “church”? buildings, steeples, steel, stage, pulpit? I googled it, 1st result is this def: is a building used for public Christian worship. Stones, bricks, mortar, steel, drywall.
“We won't be going back here to church again. The A/C wasn't working right. The seats were uncomfortable. The exterminator hasn't been here in a long time. Children's program was non-existent. The music was too loud. There was nobody my age there. Service was too long. I could go on, but I have to go pray that God will help me find a better church. People all over the world worship God in these kinds of conditions and even worse. If you love God, you'll have a different perspective. It's about God & His people, ! It's about loving your brother - Paul Heier, Missionary
Have you ever been part of a dysfunctional church? I believe it starts with loving something else more than people. It could be the building, or the programs, or the institution itself. That’s when church dysfunction sprouts.
