Mixing It Up With People We Would Never Have Connect To:

The following is from Randy Alcorn's blog:

"Consider this, in light of the number of people who have withdrawn from the local church because it "does not meet our needs”: Church is about more than meeting your needs. It is about identifying with Christ and with people who otherwise we would never engage with. Some of these people will be very different than us; some of them will be difficult. But we are difficult too, aren't we? 

We need to recognize the value of the local church, and not abandon it despite all its imperfections (and each of us is included in those imperfections)."
