Chris.
The Church is sometimes treated like an emotional and relational rubbish dump. A place where we can come and dump our trash, then walk away 'feeling better'. This is a completely wrong concept. If we have this concept, our Church will never be free or Blessed. Firstly our Church is supposed to be a place of pure Worship, if we are not pure, we should deal with that before we come to Church.
Although our Lord is The Healer, we should not treat Church like a hospital, it is a place to come and learn and grow in the Lord. Finally, for today, a Church is not the place where we can manipulate our favourite person to have some position or authority in. We should follow God's Appointments.
