Ephesians 5:25 - Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; EVEN AS CHRIST: Christ knew and realized that the church will always be filled with Christians who will have 'good days' and 'bad days'.The church, the Body of Christ which are believers, tend to be moody, fickle, spiritual one day, carnal the next.If they have more days being spiritual then they tend to stick with the church through thick and thin.However, if they have more days being carnal, bitter, negative, then they will walk away from the church when they 'feel' the church is not catering to their personal needs.Now, what would happen to us if God thought like the average church member?What if God only loved us while we were spiritual?What if God thumped us as soon as we were started to complain and blame his church?Those who 'often' talk about the church/pastor or bounce between churches are those who are struggling with themselves and not the church.God is patient, kind, and long suffering, but don't mistake these attributes for His approval of your words or actions towards the church.
