I've always heard that church is a hospital for the sinner, not a club for the perfected.

Trouble is that too many sinners have political correctness on their side and would rather drag the church down with them than take advantage of the hospital treatments offered.

There is a difference between going to Church to continue in a sanctification process by God, cleaning up a scarred soul, and instead unrepentantly identifying oneself with sin without turning away from known sin.

The the latter case, sanctification isn’t possible, but in the former case, it is preconditioned upon turning away from sin and returning to God on His terms.
