Your worse failings are redemptive if you let God use them to get your attention and bring you to repentance.

Alternatively, you can let them destroy you.

That’s why I seldom freak out when someone in our churches stumbles – many times I’ve seen it become a turning point for amazing redemptive transformation.

But whether for destruction or redemption, it’s always your choice.

That’s because spiritual health and maturity are not about perfection …

But how we deal with our imperfections.

Maybe that’s why true church as commanded in the New Testament is about participating one with another to mutually build up each other …

Rather than putting on performances.
