"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

Read this tonight. What a challenging reminder.
"It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to." - C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
[H/T The quote rotation on my other site]
I remember when I would see or recall this verse and fret that I was not pure of heart, but I did want to see God. Maybe I should have lean on his grace and told myself I was pure, that I had been made pure, and so I would see Him despite my recent sin.
