Real Church, Real Lives

Many Christians have a idealistic picture of the church. They
believe a healthy and true church is one that is free from
conflict. However, what the Bible tells us is that community in
church will be messy. Why? Because relationships between
rehabilitating sinners will always be messy. Messiness, as Tim
Keller says, is to be expected in any and all human relationships.
What makes the church the church is how we journey together and
persevere together through this expected messiness. | Acts 15:36-41
