What are you looking for in your church family? Rules and rule keepers? What if they're a bunch of hypocrites and rule breakers? When disillusioned about church or church member behavior, let's get back to the basics of what the church is all about, the Gospel's comfort in as many ways as possible: Baptism, Lord's Supper, Keys, and Confession.
