What is the function of the Christian Christian church and who is it made for? What do you think? There are some who say that the church is only for holy people who live good lives to attend to meet with their holy God. Others think that it is a place for silly and cowardly goodie-two-shoes people to go to to avoid the harsh realities of life. And yet others think it is a place for deluded people.

Well amazingly, none of these are true. So what is the church for?

The church is not a place for holy people.

Here is the criteria for people who the church was made for, let's see if it's made for you:)

1 you have lied(white,grey or black) at least one time in the past seven days
2 you have stolen things before(this includes watching pirated DVDs and downloading music online)
3 you have had sexual fantasies/immorality and/or indulged in pornography
4 you have been jealous for other people's popularity/status/belongings/etc
5 you have been so angry you abused someone verbally or physically

If you have fulfilled the even one of the criteria above, congratulations! The church is made ESPECIALLY for YOU and you have an exclusive invitation given out personally by God.

I'll tell you who the church was made for, it was made for sinners. That means you and me.

Just as the hospital is meant for sick people, the church meant for sinners. It was never intended to be a place for holy people, they don't exist. Jesus said

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

The church was build for those who are broken-hearted, those who know they have no hope, those who cry out at night but nobody hears them, those who find no meaning in life and in themselves, those who are weak and tired, those who are plagued with fears they dare not face, those who are haunted by the past and have nowhere to run, those who have hundreds of winning medals but are still a losers in their mind, Those who have everything but know something is missing, those who are constantly surrounded by people but know they are lonely inside, those whose friends have left them, those whose loved ones have been taken away from them, those who are grief-stricken, those who can't seem to stop doing the wrong things, those who ashamed that they are downright filthy inside. Those who want to be truly changed from their current state.

Those who know that they are sinners

These are the type of people that Jesus came to save and the type of people that he built the church for. To give hope to the hopeless, to comfort the broken-hearted, to grant rest to the restless, to give strength to the weak and courage to the fearful, to complete those who are incomplete, to give love to all those who need it.

To grant forgiveness to the sinner. He will heal you and transform you from the inside out

That is what a church is and is for. So if you fulfill the criteria for going to church, what are you waiting for?
