"No matter how hard we try in the church, we will always mess some things up. And no matter how badly we mess some things up in the church, other things will keep turning out right. Because we are not, thank God, in charge. "

Doesn't that give you comfort to know that even in our flawed, sinful states we cannot thwart the purpose of God? The church is perhaps the greatest institution in the history of the world, but there are also a lot of very dark blemishes on our transcript...thankfully God works in and through and many times in spite of our human frailty. Thanks be to God!
