Remember this when ever Someone does not meet up to your standards or you fill left out or have a very small congragation.

Sam attended a church of disenfranchised people.  The tiny building is in an affluent suburb where most of the people live in newer houses and drive cars less than five years old.  When I visited Sam's church I couldn't help but notice that most of the cars in the parking lot were really old many wre wrecked or rusting.    Inside the building it was apperent that most church members were surely out of step in this community,.  How did all these people find this church, I wondered.I didn't have to wait long for my answer.  The service was one of the most anointed, Holy Spirit-filled services I have ever attended.  The passion for God was almost palpable in that place.
     "Accept one another, than just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." Paul wrote to the Romans.  He was urging them to embrace the Gentiles, the most sienfranchised people of his day, people who would not be allowed to participate in the good news of the Kingdow unless the jews moved out of their "affluent suburb" mentality.  Let me not forget, Lord, that I am a Gentile--a disenfranchised one--except for the power of the gospel of hope.     _Bonnie Perry

When Christians worship here on earth, the host of Heaven are worshiping with them.
