Jesus never intended for the church to be a group of self righteous, angry judgmental, isolationist. Not that you'd know that by many "Christ followers".
In the past, and even the present the Church has spent so much time arguing over social issues (Think boycotting non Christians for acting like non Christians) that we have not loved people like Jesus loves people.
People are never reached through condemnation. People are reached through conversation. Using real words. Real stories. Real connection.
The Church should be the most inviting. accepting, loving place the world has ever seen.
We say it this way, "It's okay to not be okay."
I'm not okay, you're not okay, but Jesus loves us anyway and he invites us to drop our junk, including our false faces, and follow Him.
The Church should be a place to experience real love where ever you come from.
