real church

i am really lovin' this series that we are in right now at church, 'real church.' jared has been hitting each sermon out of the ballpark. i particularly liked 7.12 and this past sunday's sermons. a quote from sunday that jared used...

“Without true Christians loving one another, Christ says the world cannot be expected
to listen, even when we give proper answers. Let us be careful, indeed, to spend
a lifetime studying to give honest answers. But after we have done our best to
communicate to a lost world, still we must never forget that the final apologetic which
Jesus gives is the observable love of true Christians for true Christians. If the world
does not see this, it will not believe that Christ was sent by the Father.”
-Francis Schaeffer

each message is challenging and encouraging me. they are especially helpful as matt and i are starting up our college age community group. i would recommend listening to them if you haven't heard them yet. it's something i am definitely going to go back to often.
