The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.

About This Quote

The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed. This quote says it best. The church is meant to be a place of true grace and true forgiveness for those who come through the doors of the church. When we come to the church we are imperfect people but we are invited to be made perfect through Christ.
