Being Realistic About Your Church

A few weeks ago I walked past a house under construction. But I not only walked past it I also thought about something as I walked by (my multitasking is making huge strides forward as you can observe). How similar the church is to a construction site! On a work-site all is unfinished, there is lots of noise, lots of rubble, lots of activity and everywhere you look things don't look good. Yet how stupid the anxious owner would be to expect anything less! Any owner with his head screwed on properly should not be angry at cement in a flower bed or half-bricks on his lawns. He should know that such things inconveniences accompany any construction work.  Yet how unrealistic you and I are about the church which Jesus is still building!

​We become petty and upset about so many things. Sometimes Christians even think of moving to another church where things will be 'decently and in order' (=  no building work going on). No such church should exist! Though society may mock don't let the imperfections on God's site put you off.  Use your imagination and see all that Jesus is doing  in the midst of the mess.
