Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.
“Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if ...read more

God sees His church from a very different perspective that what most of us will use. He looks through eyes of love, hoping that every one of his children will be a part of that Bride of Christ that's going to be with Jesus.
Looking at the Church Through the Eyes of God By Pastor James May July 26, 2011 How does God see his church today? What is the main factor in the mind of God when he looks at the church?
