Flawed Folk Fellowship (rr)

​Let me start today with a good ol' Protestant Brag.
I have attended church my whole life, and not just Sunday mornings, I often go on Wednesdays too.  I accepted Jesus into my heart at age 6, was baptized at age 14, and have been married to a wonderful Christian woman for almost 34 years!  

​Besides going to church, I go to work, pay my bills, and drive in rush hour traffic that would test Mother Theresa's inner goodness.  I aspire to be like Jesus and so I am a pretty pretty good guy, BUT.. (NEWS FLASH) I am not so perfect. I am not really any better (or worse) than those who never darken the door of a local church.  Let's just say I am a lifelong member of the 'Flawed Folk Fellowship'.

The friendly members of 'Flawed Folk Fellowship' are known for their welcoming slogan 'No Perfect People Allowed' but this also could serve as a disclaimer much like you hear at the end of one of those prescription med ads on TV. CURElanta may be right for you. <pause> BUT.. some taking CURElanta "may experience tingling toes, a bloody nose, itchy ears, swollen rear, and.. in extreme cases DEATH or worse.  
Our Flawed Folk disclaimer could be .. In some cases those attending Flawed Folk Fellowship experience involuntary hand raising, amen vocalizations and often the compulsive utterance of  a hallelujah. On other Sundays sermon snoring may occur.

All silliness aside.. there are common themes you hear  regarding us Flawed (so-called) Christians.

1. Why are Christians such hypocrites?  To the extent Christians struggle with the same issues of those of non-Christians and our human nature is not to have our failures found out.. hypocrisy does happen.
2. Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. This is much more than a clever bumper sticker.  Amazing Grace, and God's great love is the hope for mankind.

Truth be told I am glad to be a part of the Flawed Folk Fellowship.  There is no better place to worship & give thanks to our God for the blessings 'and trials' of this life.  A place to share and bring our prayers to our loving Father who cares. To become a community of other flawed believers in our sincere attempt to be a church family.. aka the body of Christ.  
​
My prayer for each of you today is to find your own Flawed Folk Fellowship. To share, and support each other in our struggles, and to worship together the one true God of our Bibles is priceless.
