a favourite of mine on a rainy sunday

Because the Church isn’t an institution, it isn’t four walls, it isn’t a downloadable Faith Statement with appropriate footnotes that you sign your name to, it isn’t a membership list, it isn’t Sundays at 10AM. The Church is simply us, the people of God, gathered together and sent out We’re a family, not an organization. You don’t get to be a Christian by yourself, I’m learning, and I don’t know if I was crying in church today because of the burdens we are all carrying, or if I was crying because someone was there to share the load.
