Plenty of people have witnessed the church at its worst. Because churches are made up of sinful people, every church has its ugly moments - including ours. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important for churches to remember Christ\u2019s design for them - a design whose beauty is in its simplicity, a design that keeps the body of Christ working at its best. Today we see that Christ\u2019s church on earth will often undergo attack from the world around it. The Church doesn\u2019t do itself any favors when it tries to serve as its own defense. It inevitably leads to self-righteousness. Thankfully, we don\u2019t need to serve as our own defense because the Lord Almighty is with us. Because of Christ\u2019s work, we can be confident that God is on our side. He is our sure and constant defense.
