A Church without Problems

How would you like to belong to a church that didn't have problems? If you do then you wouldn't be part of the Corinthian church. However, when you think about a church that doesn't have any problems then you are probably thinking about a church that does nothing, a dead church. The Corinthian church had problems because it was alive. The majority of the congregation were new Christians that came with a lot of baggage. However, it was these problems that brought life and vitality.
If Satan wanted to defeat a church he would probably convince them that they have no problems and the best way of having no problems would be to maintain the status quo. We are not ignorant of his schemes. We are prepared to face the problems because new life always comes with problems.

Jo that is a brainfull for me. I would like to discuss tomorrow the different problems and who some can be good, as you said, and how are not so good. Interested in seeing the connection between the two?
