The Church & the church

The word for this week's One Word at a Time blog carnival is: Church.

In the church I first felt cheated
In The Church I first met Jesus
In the church I first felt hated
In The Church I first knew Love

In the church I felt death
In The Church I found Life
In the church I was imprisoned
In The Church I found freedom

The Church leads to Jesus
the church leads to hell
The Church; the bride of Christ
the church; the bride of satan

The Church wept when He died
the church had Him crucified

the church is tidy
The Church is messy
the church is pretty outside
The Church is beautiful inside

The Church is light shining in darkness
the church is darkness pretending to be light

The Church; people seeking a Savior.
the church; people seeking behavior.

Nice, Doug. You summarized it all in a few (poetic) lines.

hi doug,

it is no wonder how we can easily be led astray if we are not listening to the Holy Spirit.

good words here for thought.

No wonder the world's confused when they look at the church.

O Church! Rise up to your calling as His bride!
