The Church We Need
by Our Daily Bread Ministries English
About this item
Members of the church are never justified in feeling they can go it alone.
The church we need is one that gives us a taste of what it would have been like to walk the dusty roads of Israel with the church’s Founder. While we will never find a church as perfect as He is, and while there is no such thing as a church where members walk on water, we need to find a church that sees people the way He did.
As we look for that kind of church, there is something to keep in mind: A wise proverb says, “A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet” (Prov. 27:7). Only when we are broken and emptied of our own self-sufficiency will we value other imperfect, broken people who have found in the church, the body of Christ, a genuine source of forgiveness, honesty, and love.
