Accepting People as They Are in Church

Do we ever suffer from "spiritual amnesia" in the church? We've walked in the light for so long, sometimes forgetting the brokenness we once knew. This can lead us to set invisible standards, expecting unbelievers to act like believers before they've even encountered Christ. The truth is, the church should be a hospital for the hurting, not a museum for the perfect. Are we truly embracing people as they are, just as Christ embraced us? It's not our job to 'clean' them; it's our role to love and welcome. Learn how we can remove these barriers and let God do His transformative work.

Are you ready to discover how to truly shoulder a brother or sister's burden with grace, fulfilling the law of Christ? This post challenges us to look in the spiritual mirror before we act.
