Revelation 2:18-29 (NASB 2020)

CHARLES SPURGEON: The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it.”

MARTIN LUTHER: Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.

 

So many Christian churches in the United States do so much good — nourishing the soul, comforting the sick, providing services, counseling congregants, teaching Jesus’s example, and even working to fight sexual abuse and harassment. But like in any community of faith, there is also sin — often silenced, ignored and denied — and it is much more common than many want to believe. It has often led to failures by evangelicals to report sexual abuse, respond appropriately to victims and change the institutional cultures that enabled the abuse in the first place.  -Washington Post 2018
