Recently, before we moved to Austin, I had the opportunity to share with a buddy of mine at work all that God was doing and leading us to do here in Austin. I was able to share about the vision of our fellowship here at Austin City Life, and how we believe Christ has called our family to pastor and shepherd in the future.
After the move we were still keeping in touch through email, and when I told him I was enjoying working with the church, he asks this question in response:
"Oh that's great, are they nice?"
What a telling comment. Are they nice? This question says so much about his experience and many others experience's with the church. This question has haunted me, and caused me to cling on to the mercy and grace of Christ, that we would be the aroma of Christ to those around us.
What do you think about this guys comment?
