THE MARKS OF A GREAT CHURCH
(III John 1:5- 6) 5- “Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6- Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:”
“A great church is a church where love, humility and unity seats in…” ElyRS
“The church is like a home that needs to be built in a good, right and solid foundation.” ElyRS
“The Christian church is not a society of integrated personalities, nor of philosophers, nor of mystics, or even of good people. It is a society of broken personalities, of men and women with troubled minds, of people who know that they are not good. The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership.” (Charles Clayton Morrison in “What is Christianity?” Harper & Bros) From the book “Speaker’s Illustrations for Special Days by Charles L Wallis, Editor.
(Colossians 2:17) “Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
