Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, “If we do not give thanks daily for the Christian fellowship in which we have been placed, even where there is no great experience, no discoverable riches, but much weakness, small faith, and difficulty; if on the contrary, we only keep complaining to God that everything is so paltry and petty, so far from what we expected, then we hinder God from letting our fellowship grow according to the measure and riches which are there for us all in Jesus Christ.” In their upcoming book, Why Church Matters: Going All In with the Broken Yet Beautiful Body of Christ, Mark Hallock and Aaron Weber address the reality of hurt caused by the church, while also offering hope from God’s Word. We are happy to share an excerpt from their book here today.
