Hey Ron,

Isn’t it amazing that God can actually gain glory for himself by causing us “messes” to love one another and build our lives together. Thanks for this thought!

Hi Sandy,

Great way of putting it – seeing others through God’s eyes. Thanks!

Greg,

Great quote! “Ragbag of saints and fat-heads” – hilarious. Much better than motley crew!

Steve,

Perfect Scripture to go along with the post. Thanks.

Mark,

Thanks for the post. One of my favorite quotes on the church…

There is no way of belonging to Jesus Christ except by belonging gladly and irrevocably to the glorious ragbag of saints and fat-heads who make up the one, holy and universal church! – Bishop Geoffrey Paul

Thank you I needed this today! I need to look at people through God’s eyes not my own.

Hey there Mark,
Great stuff today! I’m always amazed at how God works, never like I envision it…that’s cause’ He’s God and I’m not! God has worked in some amazing ways relationally in my life through the years, people that I said I would never have anything to do with are now some of my closest friends. And we attend church together week after week, The Lord is amazing in how He takes broken, screwed up messes and brings glory to Himself!
Blessings
