“Pay careful attention...to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28 ESV)

Today, the church is misunderstood in many areas of society. Like a family, the church is not perfect, but it was created by a perfect God. There may be things some dislike about the church on the whole, but there are many things to admire and love about the church.

Here are some thoughts:

• The church belongs to Jesus. He purchased us with His own blood.
• The church is precious to Jesus.
• We are the bride of Christ.
• At church, a holy God is worshipped.(Luke 4:8).
• The Word of God is preached.                                   
• God’s infallible inerrant Book is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and in instruction righteousness (2 Timothy 2:16) forward to getting

The church is generous and caring. The church rises up first to assist in the local community and abroad with tangible evidence of Christ’s love.  The church goes into the entire world and spreads the Good News.  I love the longevity of the church; it has been around for 2,000 years and will remain until Christ returns.

The church has some of the best people I know.

The church encourages, teaches, and builds one another up in the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many reasons to love the church.

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:25 NLT)
