The church has always had an important, but touchy, role in the cultures where it has existed. One the one hand, Jesus clearly calls all of us who follow him to be like him, to help people see how much love God has for them, to help them see how meaningful a life he is calling them to lead, and to honestly live that life as well. Put simply, the church shouldn’t just talk about the good news, it should be the good news. That by itself can be tough enough!
But it’s actually more than that. It isn’t just what we do, but how we do it that seems to really matter to God.
