Would Jesus Go To Your Church?

The church exists by mission as a fire exists by burning. Emil Brunner



Look at what Jesus demonstrates through His life, look at the people that Jesus hung out with. Jesus was the holiest person who ever lived, yet it was the prostitutes, the thieves, and the diseased who loved him and the religious folks who hated him. The Son of God visited planet Earth and the chief complaint about him was that he wasn't religious enough!

Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport Today? by B. J. Thomas

If they saw Him riding in,
long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love Him down in Shreveport today?
If they heard He was a Jew and a Palestinian too,
Would they love Him down in Nashville today?
If they saw Him talk with ease
To the junkies, whores, and thieves,
Would they love Him out in Wichita today?
Would the rich men think it funny
If He said give up your money?
Would they love Him up on Wall Street today?
If He made the wine from water,
Gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
If He talked of brotherhood
As He walked their neighborhoods,
Would they love Him up in Boston today?
Oh, If He said love those who use you,
And forgive those who abuse you,
If He turned the other cheek,
what would you say?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walked right into your town today?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walked right into your town today?


A church is really a series of relationships, a family. Robert Frost says family (the church), "is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."

Ohana: Nobody gets left behind. Be on the lookout for stragglers. Jesus is.

1 Peter 4:8
Love covers over a multitude of sins.
