The City Of Angels...

When I think of a city of angels...

I think that's what the church should be like.

I wold love to be a part of a church that is called "the city of angels", not because of the name even though it is pretty awesome but actually because it would hopefully represent what people see the church as.

A church that serves, supports, loves and shines light into darkness.

It would incredible to see that community.

A community with a loving, caring attitude towards the world.

That shares everything with all.

That doesn't hold back on love.

That wants to share this amazing love that we have in our lives with all that we know.

That doesn't gossip but looks to support.

To speak truth into peoples lives instead of lies.

That doesn't exclude but in fact includes all in what it has to offer.

To have their arms open to embrace all.

These all seem like amazing things to say and to read about but how far is the church to being there?

I wonder how long it would take to transform a community to be a little more loving, caring, sacrificial...

They say it takes 28 days to create a habit.

How long would it take to get the congregations of our churches to start living this way?

To live the way that Jesus did.
