The Perfect Church

I shared this poem with our church several months ago and thought I would post it on here as well. Someone had sent it to me and when I read it to my congregation I had several say that they really liked it. It gave them a better perspective of our church family. It is a good reminder that everyone is not perfect and that we need to remember while we have to put up with other's imperfections, they are also putting up with ours as well. None the less with all our faults we still need each other and the fellowship of believers. May God bless your church and the unity that must have. As the saying goes "United we stand, and divided we fall". I thank God for such a great and wonderful church to pastor. May God bless each and every one at the Keepville Church.

The Perfect Church

If you should find the perfect church without fault or smear,
Please, don't join that church, you'd spoil the atmosphere.
If you should find the perfect church where all anxieties cease,
Then pass it by lest joining it you mar the masterpiece.
If you should find the perfect church, then don't you ever dare
To tread upon such holy ground you'd be a misfit there.
But since no perfect church exists... made of imperfect men,
Then let's cease looking for that church, and love the one we're in.
Of course it's not a perfect church, that's simple to discern,
But you and I and all of us could cause the tide to turn.
So let's keep working in our church until the resurrection,
And then we each will join God's church without an imperfection.
