There’s a new approach: church buildings that match church people – broken. Hurricane Frances tore the steeple off the First Baptist Church in Cocoa Beach, Fla, only to impale it in the roof of the church.
Why do churches continually project the image of smiling, happy, joyful people? Perfection will not be found in the roster of a church. It’s okay to be hurting, it’s okay to be healing, it’s okay to be broken because that’s what we all are.
“What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! … As it is written, ‘There is no one righteous, not even one.'” (Romans 3:9-10 NIV)
