Who is the Church Truly About?

Sinners or Saints?
The Church has often had the reputation of being critical of the world that it lives in.
This has done good and bad.
Good - it created a dividing line for lifestyle, and habit. And it separated us from worldy living and sinful lifestyles, which are not becoming for the Church of God.
Bad - It postured us against the world in some cases, where we bought the bait of the spirit of division and bean to hate in our heart - the sinner, and not their sin.
This posture is a dangerous one to take.
For Jesus himself says to the Pharisees in , He that is without sin, throw the first stone.
Are we making an argument for sin?
Absolutely not.
What we are doing is defending the love of God in our hearts toward all men. And making sure that our anchor holds and grips the solid rock of Christ which in turn hangs on two commands.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And to love your brother.
We are to hate the world. But we must love our fellow man if he is to have any hope of finding the Christ that lives in us. For we carry in our hearts and mouths the hope of the world.
The church has become legalistic. Regimented. Often times, she looks more like a Pharisaical gathering than a living, healthy, vibrant organism - which we Biblically and spiritually can legitimately call a Church.
As the body of Christ in an end time age today, We need more love.
I pity the sinner that is left to barricade through religion in order to get to God.
Give folk time.
Sometimes, all it takes, is just a little more time, and a little more life, to get us on our knees.
And if you don’t have time, pray.
Prayer has a way of getting us all there just that quicker.
What do we judge?
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Judge fruit. Not actions. Not hearts. That’s God’s job. He’s weighing us all the time. He knows. And He cares.
He cares, WHY you are, the way you are.

It's getting bad down here 
We think those with the biggest problems did the worst sin.. a lot of times your battle is indicative of how much favor is on your life.
Peace don't mean promised..
Peace peace and there is no peace
