Wanted: Imperfect People

How many Christians will attend church this week with the intent to impress? They put on their "going to meetin'" clothes and make sure they make a good impression. Underneath, however, there's confusion, conflict, and addictions. They make a good impression all right, but not with God. He knows.

How many Christians will attend church this week with the intent to cover up? They want to cover up their frailties and failures. They will never get help because they cover up their need. Maybe they should find a church that welcomes frailties and failures!

I don't want the "elite Christians" at Grace Fellowship. There's enough churches down the road that will welcome them. I want the people that haven't arrived yet. I want the believers that want to be discipled; that want to follow Christ; and they know they have a way to go.

Check out the short video clip that I just added to the site. It reflects my thoughts. I hope it reflect yours.

Pastor,

My family and I are just old dirty,rotten sinners and we are imperfect, needing a Perfect Savior. I never want to get to the place where I think we have "Arrived", unless it is in Glory.

I appreciate your encouragement last night. I remember when I heard God's call on my life and it was the sweetest thing I have ever known apart from Salvation. Pray for me that I will grow more and be more available to my Lord.
