You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley,

reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch, together in the Christian life.

Many professing Christians say that they don't really and truly need to be a part of a church because they can live their church

Christian life find without a church. In fact, they will even tell you

that they're churches that have conflict with each other,

which we understand.

They'll say that there are many people in the churches who have conflict with one another.

And they'll even tell you that they know some people who are professing Christians

and what they say is not the way they live.

Now we would not deny any of that,

that all of those things are true.

And I do understand why people sometimes on the outside

look in and say, well, you know what I think I can do

just as well without you all. Well I can understand why you would say that but what

you have to ask is this. What is the opinion of Almighty God about His Church?

We can be critical of it.

We can see our faults and our fallacies, and we understand that.

In fact, if you'll think through it in the New Testament most of the epistles deal

with problems in the church.

When you look at the First Corinthians for example, Second Corinthians and all the problems that the church was having and difficulty

there's going on.
