"Every church is filled with imperfect people like you who are led by imperfect leaders like me and governed by imperfect systems...The goal for yourself, your church, and its leaders must be faithfulness and not perfection, so it behooves you to start drinking decaf and to lighten up a bit in Jesus' name."
Pastor Mark Driscoll
This reminds me of the old line about the search for the perfect church; even if you find one, it won't be perfect after you join! May we be faithful to our Master, the One who knows our imperfections and yet loves us with a perfect love. And may we learn to labor with those, like ourselves, who are not perfect but love and worship Jesus.
