Ministry is messy because life is messy, and nobody is excluded from the mess. If it is not okay not to be okay in a church, then what are we doing? Where is the gospel? The hope we have in Christ is that it is okay not to be okay, but He is leading us to greater levels of health and maturity.
–Matt Chandler
Amen.
It should be okay to be a mess and come into church, where we can find the One who offers healing and cleansing. Jesus is the only One who can completely clean up our messes!
(this goes right along with what I wrote about yesterday from the quote by Becky Pippert and also from a few days ago from the quote by Stetzer and Rainer!)
