Gud är god!
Jag kom att tänka på ett längre citat från Bill Hybels, pastor i Chicago i USA.
"No other organization on earth can change the human heart and transform society. But the church can. There's only one power in the world that can change the world; it's the power of the love of Jesus Christ; the love that conquers sin and wipes out shame and heals wounds and reconciles enemies and patches broken dreams and ultimately changes the world one life at time. The radical message of that transforming love has been given to the church. There's nothing like the church when it is working right. It comforts the grieving and heals the brokenhearted; it builds bridges to the seekers and offers truth to the confused. It provides resources for those in need. It breaks the chains of addictions; it frees the oppressed, and offers belonging to the marginalized world. In the church people must feel God's love and that is that they are loved in spite of their waywardness and sin. Whatever the capacity for human suffering, the church has a greater capacity for healing and wholeness." Bill Hybels
En sådan kyrka vill vi vara. Vi är inte framme, och det finns självklart det som inte funkar, men målet är klart. Församlingen är väldens hopp! Välkommen till Betaniakyrkan när du vill.
