Could it be true that a bad church puts good people in a bad light, while a good church puts even bad people in a good light - that is, the light of Christ? The gospel is, after all, good news for bad people. And a church is the carrier of that gospel, or it is nothing at all.
And what is a "bad church", we might ask? Only judging ourselves and our work, could it suffice say that a “bad church” is where the abiding Word is:
- more about the calibre of our lives than about the potency of His death?
- more about qualification than about justification?
- more about modification than about transformation?
- more about subjection than about resurrection?
- more about the envy of comparison than the charity of the Samaritan?
- more about inspection than introspection?
- more about Form than Fire?
