Time for church

Wednesday October 4th, James 5: 16 If you have sinned, you should tell each other what you have done. Then you can pray for one another and be healed. The prayer of an innocent person is powerful, and it can help a lot. A close community is like a close family. Where trust and acceptance under gird our relationships, growth and healing can take place. Unfortunately, rarely do we ever find such a community, and rarely do families exist at such a level. Within a church community steeped in the Gospel, this level of health can take place in small groups, most however opt for 12 step programs. Perhaps the church could learn from 12 step programs what church should be about. “Hello, my name is Tom Dick Harry, I am a sinner.” “Hello, Tom Dick Harry, welcome to sinners anonymous.” Time for church to start.
