教會很難 Church is hard
但是，這是教會的美麗。教會不是建築物，不是一個思想或期望。
But, here is the beauty of church - Church isn’t a building, mentality, or expectation.
教會是身體。
Church is a body.
教會是一群罪人，被恩典所救，活在團契中的聖徒。
Church is a group of sinners, saved by grace, living in fellowship as saints.
教會是一群信徒，他們被永恆的愛聯結成為兄弟姐妹。
Church is a body of believers bound as brothers and sisters by an eternal love.
教會是罪人在恩典寶座前平等站立的聖地。
Church is a holy ground where sinners stand as equals before the Throne of Grace.
教會是傷心人的庇護所，也是大能勇士的訓練場。
Church is a refuge for broken hearts and a training ground for mighty warriors.
教會是爭戰與邀請的融合。當罪人在對 付罪惡後，邀請人心尋求復興。
Church is a converging of confrontation and invitation. Where sin is confronted and hearts are invited to seek restoration.
教會是負擔的承受者，也是希望的給予者。
Church is a bearer of burdens and a giver of hope.
教會是一個家庭。一個家庭聚在一起，撇開 分歧，忘記過去的錯誤，在最小的勝利中歡欣鼓舞。
Church is a family. A family coming together, setting aside differences, forgetting past mistakes, rejoicing in the smallest of victories.
教會，基督的身體, 是罪人和聖徒的居所，如果我們求的話，祂在我們中間。
Church, the body, and the circle of sinners-turned-saints, is where He resides, and if we ask, He is faithful to come.
因此，我記得即使在教會的困難時期, 他從未辜負過我們, 在那裡與我們相會。
So even on the hard days at church, I’ll remember, He has never failed to meet me there.
