Ouch, my husband has preached this and if some in the congregation had rotten tomatoes, he would have got em. The church hates that word. They take it as meaning that we are to be perfect, never more to mess up. That's the worlds definition. We cannot be perfect on our own. If we could, I would be the most perfect person out there. That's when pride sets in. We have to realize that it's only through Christ that we can be perfect, because it's him doing it through us. Why do we make things so simple so complicated? I think that's why we fail to bring others in . What do you think?
