Let's Go Back to the Bible

Is the church like Washington politicians?

If you turn on the news anymore, every national story seems to include some element of how Washington politicians do not get along. It has caused me to wonder if we can sometimes translate those kinds of relationships into the  church.

Our government leaders seem to never have anything nice to say about each other. Do we have nice things to say about each other in the church? Our government leaders seem to look for ways to make folks who disagree with them look bad. Do we try to make others look bad? Our government leaders seem to have a hard time just listening. Do we listen to each other? Our government leaders seem to just do their own thing, regardless of its impact on others. Do we focus so much on what we want that we don’t care about its negative impact on others?

In the church, we all have our flaws and make mistakes. Still, we share one common goal — to grow closer to God and to make it to heaven! I thank God that His church is a family!
