#JohnStott on the church:
“On earth she is often in rags and tatters, stained and ugly, despised and persecuted. But one day she will be seen for what she is, nothing less than the bride of Christ, “free from spot, wrinkles or any other disfigurement,” holy and without blemish, beautiful and glorious. It is to this constructive end that Christ has been working and continuing to work. The bride does not make herself presentable; it is the bridegroom who labours to beautify her in order to present her to himself”
Really looking forward to preaching one of my favourite series #WeTheChurch this weekend at #CityonaHillGEEL church camp.
