Recently my brother-in-law and I replaced a window in my house
which was not doing it’s job. The
purpose of a window is to keep the weather out and let the sunshine in, but
this window was failing to do one while accomplishing the other. As we removed the old window the true extent
of the problems became obvious. Much of
the wood around the window was rotten due to the window’s lack of ability to
keep the weather outside. To fix this
issue we replaced the rotten wood with new, treated wood before replacing the
entire window.
There are times when the church is not accomplishing the good
work that God has called it to undertake.
It has allowed rot to set in and some major renovation needs to take
place. The rot must be removed. Or to use the words of the Apostle Paul in 2
Timothy 2:21, the church is in need of a good cleansing.
The church of God is called to be set apart, to be holy, for
Godly work. How can the rot within the
church be recognized and dealt with quickly?
How does this truth affect the church as a whole and each individual
within the church of God? What
renovations need to be done within the church so that it can accomplish it’s
call?
Join us this week at ElmCreek Community Church as we study 2
Timothy 2:20-21 and discover God’s desire for us as His people.
Striving to know Christ and make him known!
