/// “It would be easy to lose faith in God if it were based on faith in people.” ///
The bar to being a Christian is very low: acknowledgement that indeed you are a sinner, is part of it. The Church is composed of sinners, albeit sinners who are striving for better.
Neither I, nor any other Christians, are surprised when members go astray, sometimes in big ways. Disappointed, for sure, but never surprised.
Right!
And the person who has disappointed me the most is - me!
Oh, well - gotta get back up and keep fighting the good fight!
