Loving Church

Whose job is it to make sure that the church is loving?  I think that it is mine.  If I spend all my time complaining about the pompous, romanized hierarchy who have made a mess of things, I forget my job description as part of the Body of Christ.  Because my church is imperfect, does mean that I walk away.  Jesus saw his religion as imperfect, and let the leaders know it, but yet he stayed and even gave his life for it and me, to boot.  He did say, "Follow me."  He said wine, not whine.  I tend to forget this and thus hide the church's face of love.
