What is RIGHT about the "Church"?
As someone who has gone to church her whole life, I have first hand experience with what is WRONG with the church. Like every person who wants to see the church get "better" (whatever that means), I could make a huge list of weak areas. For once I would like to point out what is RIGHT about the church. Church in my little blog post means the people who are actively seeking Christ and surrendering to him, not the brick building I sit in on Sundays. As a pastor's wife I have been burned by the church, but also tremendously BLESSED by the church.
(I will do another post about the blessings from just this week!)
Some of you know about the PASSION conference and some may not. Basically, it started when I was in college. It is for college age students. It is a huge movement to bring college students together in fellowship and proclaim Christ. So you don't believe in God, and that statement means nothing to you. I get it, BUT the reason I want to share it with you is because these students are changing the world by loving on the unlovable. I have been truly impressed by how these college students are not just students who are big mouth Christians, but are actually giving life to others because of their actions. They are helping free girls from sexual slavery, building wells for villages who do not have clean water, meeting the needs of local homeless shelters, and helping stop many other social injustices! The list goes on.
PASSION conference is starting today in Atlanta. Our church has around 44 college students going and other local churches have students going as well! I am truly excited about the difference this generation of students will make!
