What I Like About Church

by Pastor Bob Barnes

You know what I like about the church?  The people.  God has entrusted His Presence and His Purpose to people.  Sometimes we might think that it is to a structure or organization that God is more interested in but it is always the people within that organization or structure.  I have been influenced and helped by some of the finest people in the world.  These people, the church, have always been of the same mind. They have been willing to love me with the love of Christ that has transformed their lives.  They have always loved me and others simply.  There was no thought of what might be in it for them or if they could change me to be more like they thought I should be.  They simply loved me because by the overflowing love of Christ in them, they were "lovers".

"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints- Col. 1:3-4 (italics added)

True, it hasn't been all the people all of the time, but it is God's purpose through His Presence to transform His church to be filled with people, you and me, marked by his Love.  That's what I like about the church.
