: Many of us may be looking at the imperfections of the Churches; but the Church is not perfect. Given all this, we must remember what the writer tells us to the Hebrews in Hebrews 10:23-25, because as Faustino Zamora V says. "We must focus on Christ as Lord of his church to experience his grace and overcome imperfections"
: Many of us may be looking at the imperfections of the Churches; but the Church is not perfect. Given all this, we must remember what the writer tells us to the Hebrews in Hebrews 10:23-25, because as Faustino Zamora V says. "We must focus on Christ as Lord of his church to experience his grace and overcome imperfections"What Carlos A. Borja Flores mentions about the imperfections of the Church is true. Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas also highlights this point by comparing the Church to spiritual Gilgal, a place full of meaning and symbolism throughout biblical history. It reminds us that the Church, like Gilgal, has had its moments of challenges and difficulties, but remains worthy of God's goodness and mercy. As mentioned in Hebrews 10:23-25 and Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas invites us to focus on Christ as the central axis of the Church, in order to experience the grace of God and overcome those imperfections that may arise. How important it is to keep our gaze on Christ and remember that He is the foundation of the Church! God bless your Word!
Wulfredo 
: What is in The Lord's Workshop: The disorders of the church translated into dissensions, immoralities, disputes between brothers, improper conduct, misunderstandings regarding doctrinal aspects, envy, murmurings, exclusivism, favoritism, prominence and many other evils that appear in the church today, are exactly the same (or worse) than those that were recurrent in the church of the first centuries. Even so, Jehovah of the armies of Israel loves us with that immense love that does not remove his Holy Spirit from the church. Tell me where is that perfect church that you want to find? Review our mind and transform it into the mind of Jesus. Amen

Wulfredo highlights a fundamental point: despite the disorders and problems that may arise in the Church, the love of God and the presence of His Holy Spirit continue to be present. Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas also addresses this topic by mentioning the imperfections of the Church, comparing it to the spiritual Gilgal. In this sense, it is important to remember that perfection is not found in the Church itself, but in Christ Jesus, who is the foundation and head of the Church. In 1 Corinthians 2:2 we are reminded that the focus must be on Jesus Christ and His redemptive work. Transforming our mind to the mind of Jesus will help us understand that the Church is a body made up of imperfect believers who need the grace and love of God. How beautiful it is to know that despite our failures, God continues to love His Church and work in its midst! May we reflect the mind of Christ more every day in our walk with Him! Amen!

Francisco Diaz S.: Churches are places of approach to God, they are places to worship God and to communicate with Christ our King and Lord, they must be considered sacred sites. There is no town, no matter how small it may be, that does not have a church, from the most humble to the The most sumptuous are places where we seek peace and healthy retreat.-
: Churches are places of approach to God, they are places to worship God and to communicate with Christ our King and Lord, they must be considered sacred sites. There is no town, no matter how small it may be, that does not have a church, from the most humble to the The most sumptuous are places where we seek peace and healthy retreat.-What beautiful words, Francisco Diaz S. It is true, churches are special places where we can get closer to God, worship Him and communicate with our Lord. Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas invites us to reflect on the importance of the Church as the spiritual Gilgal, a place of meaning and symbolism in biblical history, where God has worked supernaturally. As you mention, even in the smallest towns we find churches that are refuges of peace and meditation, sacred places where we can seek the presence of God. May each church be a place where peace, sincere worship and encounter with our Savior reign. May the presence of God continue to manifest itself in every corner where His children congregate! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful thought! God bless you!

: The church is the temple where God lives. Where Christians with faith in him give their lives for love of his name and glory. God bless you. Amen..What a beautiful reflection, Ruth Vives. Your description of the church as the temple where God dwells, where believers give their lives for the love of His name and glory, reflects the deep spiritual connection experienced in the community of believers.
