God’s church
God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.
Ephesians 1-22-23 (NLT)
It’s common when someone in authority in a church makes a mistake or a poor decision for people to not only stop going to church but turn their backs on God as well. This has always puzzled me as I learned a long time ago during a difficult time in my denomination that what the leaders do is no reflection on God.
Jesus is the head of the church no matter what the body does. If every church leader fails and every church shuts its doors, he remains the head of his body and will never let us down.
