If you're looking for the perfect church, prepare to be disappointed! Even if it was perfect, it probably wouldn't be after you joined! Grocho Marx said that he’d never join any organization that accepted him as a member. This is one of the biggest excuses why people don’t join a local church. They feel the people in leadership are hypocrites. But in truth, there are no perfect people inside nor outside of church. The ministry leadership are regular people trying their best to follow after Christ. That doesn’t mean that we should reject them when they make mistakes. No one on the earth is 100% perfect. There was only one who was, and now He waits for us in heaven. We’ll only reach perfection when He takes us home. The ones who point their fingers at pastors and leaders are themselves full of sinful flesh, just like those in leadership. I say it again for emphasis; no one is perfect.
We cannot live this life without the power of the Holy Ghost residing inside our reborn spirits. We need to be studying our Bibles daily. We need to be in constant communication with a loving God for his empowerment on our lives. We need both the constant washing of the Word in us, and the power of His Spirit leading us. When I take a shower, I use both shower gel and water. I cannot be clean without both.
