During trials, disasters, even everyday life, we discover how much we need others. the one saying says; "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
Healthy churches are built by rooted Christians that:
*Encourage
*Serve
*Forgive
*Bear burdens
*Speak the Truth in Love!
But even the church community gets messy. We read about a farmer that if he is going to have a productive farm business is going to have messy stalls, bulls, goats, horses. He on the other hand might have spotless stalls, because he has no hay, bulls, goats or horses etc. But he will also have no crops or profits without the animals making a mess.
We can have a spotless church, no broken hearts, no agendas, no tears, but you will not have ministry or community.
If there is a messy community, you will have a great need and evidence of service and ministry.
If our roots dig deep in Christ, The Word, Prayer...the fruit will soon be seen. The healthy rooted church might be messy but knit together in love.
It's not time to tear apart but be a part!

Let's not just grow up. Let's grow up together!
