How is the Church Like a Family?
Doug
Todd Hiestand gives some helpful words on how the church is like a family:
-
You don’t “go to family.” Rather, you are part of a family.
-
In a family, belonging comes from who you are, not what you do.
-
There are traditions and practices that have meaning to your life together.
-
Healthy family members freely give of themselves to one another.
-
Healthy families are open and inviting to others.
-
In healthy families, its hard, but we send our kids off to college and they are still part of the family.
-
There is room for extended family.
-
When you “leave” a family its usually a violent break.
-
In a family, you are forced to deal with problems
