Heard: “Pastor, I want you to know why I do not come to your church–There are hypocrites in it.”
Reply: “There’s room for one more!”

Even the church that Jesus pastored on earth had imperfections:
1. The Church Council went to sleep rather than pray with the pastor
2. James & John wanted to call down fire on another denomination
3. Peter denied ever knowing the pastor
4. His financial administrator betrayed the pastor (Judas)
5. Thomas refused to accept the word of the church council and other members
6. “They all forsook Him” at the judgement hall (Mt. 26:56)
