From a paper by Terry Johnson on The Church as it was Meant to be:
“Devotion to the fellowship of the church means devotion to silly people and a lot of foolishness. Why is this so? Because the church is made up of sinners, that’s why. Inevitably, we will hurt and disappoint one another. If, each time that happens you run for it, the church will collapse. We are called to be committed to the fellowship.”
