How To Deal With Church Hurt

We all know that when we get more than one person together that there will be differences. Many differences occur because some people tend to walk outside of their calling in effect trying to do everyone elses job and not theirs "busy-bodies."

Paul states, in 2 Thessalonians 3:11 "For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies." We must perform a self analysis to see whether we are the ones starting the trouble, and then we can move on from that point. Jesus encountered trouble among the disciples, Judas sold Him for thirty pieces of silver, and Peter denied Him three times, but the church still stands today. What Satan meant for evil, God meant for good. God calls us to holiness and we must cast aside our differences and promote unity in the love of Jesus Christ. Jesus states, in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." The church is not the building but our hearts that have been purchased by Christ's blood. Forgiveness and prayer are the best ways to overcome church hurt.
