Welcome

Christ is Risen!

Myrrhbearing Women

(Acts 6: 1 - 7) Was there ever really a
golden age of the Church?


Many people feel that, if Christians do not act as they think Christians ought to act, somehow the integrity of the church's teaching and mission is shown to be untrue. They go off in a huff. Or worse.

Scandal is such a tragedy because if the church is really what it claims to be - new life in Christ, the very bearer of grace and salvation - then to withdraw from the fellowship of the church sets a very perilous course indeed.

In other words: to cause scandal is to be a stumbling-block for others on the path of salvation.

But the truth is that the history of God's people is a history filled with sin and failure, hypocrisy, unfaithfulness and all mannner of wrong on personal and institutional levels. Lots of scandal and lots of people all too willing to be scandalized. This is true not only of this history of Israel, but also the disciples themselves had some serious failings at times and the early church was no stranger to disappointment, greed and strife. It has ever been thus.
