Good stuff

Still no Internet at home, so I'm in the library. Just finished reading this book. It was OK. Not sure if I would recommend it or not, but here are some quotes from the end that were good.

God is about giving the good gift. Jesus is God’s good give for the healing of the world. The church is Jesus’ body, a good give for the healing of the world.

It’s for the benefit of others.

For the good of those who look different from us.

A church is an organization that exists for the benefit of nonmembers.

If our church was taken away – from our city, our neighborhood, our region – who would protest?

Only the people who are members?

Only those who are a part of it?

Only those who attend its services?
