We all want the “perfect” church, BUT far too often, we do not want to become the “perfect” church. It’s strange, trying to find or have a perfect church becomes a problem because WE are the church.

It is the study, application and expression of the Word of God that leads to a Christ-centered life. In general, the Christian church, even though growing in number, is shrinking in depth of Spiritual Comprehension and Discernment.
