The Church
--The church is not made of people who believe they are better than others, but rather it is made up of those who realize they should be better than they are, and must continually strive to be better always.
--The church is not made up of people who never make mistakes, but rather those who acknowledge their mistakes and then forsake them. Never must we seek to justify them or continually make the same mistakes over and over again.
--The church is not trying to withdraw from everyone, but rather to draw everyone into its fellowship and love who are willing to walk in the light where God the Father and Christ the Son are found.
--The church is not trying to set up arbitrary rules to hinder anyone, but rather to show the rule of Christ which helps everyone.
--The church is not trying to make everyone feel ugly, but rather it is trying to instill the beauty of holiness into everyone's life.
--The church is not trying to separate everyone from their money, but rather is trying to keep money from separating anyone from God.
--The church is not trying to become the master of anyone's life, but rather is trying to get everyone to master self.
--The church is not trying to rob anyone's life of priorities, but rather trying to get everyone to set right priorities in life.
