@SilentObZerver Church is walking with a Jesus heart. It’s having conversations with others daily. It’s recognizing that everyone is a sinner and loving on each other because of it. It’s being a good human being and not sticking someone in a box or putting blinders on. It’s speaking your heart and sharing struggles without judgement. It’s walking in your faith and not questioning it because someone stands at a pulpit trying to convince you that you’re wrong. It’s opening the door to your heart to everyone…believers and non. It’s sitting on a park bench and praying for the people who walk past.

I have had more endearing and moving conversations about God with the faithful homeless man downtown while sharing coffee than I ever had in a building.
