I have to agree. The church is a family, and if sometimes we get black sheep, become slightly dysfunctional, or make mistakes that need corrected, it is all part of living and growing together as a family. Just as the body of a child, or more aptly an adolescent, does not always seem to fit together properly and so suffers pain or discomfort, so it is with us. We do not always get along as well as we should, but we should still love, support, and encourage one another until the day that we are perfected in the love, righteousness, and holiness of Jesus Christ.
