What's that you say? After my dad's good sermon this morning, this is what I scribbled on my bulletin:
The Church is His Body, a place and house of worship. The church is becoming a place where people think they are gods who are there to help people, count the numbers, or run it their way. Church should be a place where we raise both our empty hands; we are not God and we are the ones who need God's help. We realize our need of grace, our need for mercy, and our burning desire to love and be loved in return. Our need to be heard, our craving for attention, are all natural human responses that I personally believe only God can fill, but we will never be completely satisfied "till we find ourselves in Him..." (my memory's paraphrase of St. Augustine's quote)
Remember what He prayed for in the Garden? Unity. He wanted us to be unified, made one (hence, the picture of marriage and the symbol of sex!), and peacemakers who aren't perfect.
K I just thought I'd throw these thoughts out there.
