A Safe Place to Heal Charles Quinn

A Safe Place to Heal. Is a conceptual, and spiritual apologetic plead to impose a critical, conformist gaze at our soulish condition and evaluate our spiritual disposition, as the Church. To appraise and challenge the deep-seated impression; "Church-Hurt," to uncover and expose the diabolical damage it has caused in the body of Christ among siblings in the gospel and the deep-seated obstacles setting before the unsaved, the spiritually weak, and how it has lay privy for the enemy to use as a stumbling-block. It is designed to invoke a more narrow, nonjudgmental stare, to unearth and expose a few premature root causes of some of our church-family dysfunctional behaviors. It presents an exegetical diagnosis to bring to the forefront a spiritual awareness, in hopes to provoke a transformative indignation that will incur a contagious prognosis that will be pleasing to God. Let us review the Church's original intent to ensure we are still on course. To ensure, instead of edifying the body, we are not in ignorance, unhealed-hurts, mental infractions, and imbedded self-inflicted untruths, that we have been subtly soothed into believing, crucifying the church. The Ekklesia is the called-out ones, called out to present, demonstrate and echo the caller. If we are not representing God, and His Son; Jesus Christ, then what role have we acquired? We the Church are the gathering a like-minded, believers, sacrificially giving of their substances, and Holy Spirit giving gifts to edify the 'Body of Christ, ' the Church. We are an animated organism, in-vivo; the Church, gathering in one place; the Church, being transformed to be the body of Christ; the Church. The Church that God built is still a safe place to heal, ergo the illusions and blockages that clogs our effectiveness and let us tear down lies that contaminate and perpetual our slight, ungodlike dysfunctions. Here we have a harbinger to return to our first love.
