"We are sinners saved by grace, but still sinners who gather in church. And that’s our excuse, right? That this is not a reflection of God, but of our sinfulness…but the problem is, is that the church is to be a reflection of God’s kingdom. Why is it that we often claim the first, but fail to live out the latter? Why is it that we teach about worldviews, but not how to move the world? We wound each other so much more gravely by not being open about our sin, by projecting this condescending legalism (aka accountability), and always speaking from a position of power and self-righteousness, rather than brokenness and vulnerability. It’s like we teach people more about why they should hate or avoid non-Christians rather than love and serve them."
