Sensitive Church Members

One of the quiet weaknesses of many churches is not open rebellion, but hypersensitivity. People quick to criticize others often cannot bear the smallest correction themselves, reading offense into every word and gesture. Scripture calls believers to something far stronger: forbearance, forgiveness, and charity the bond that holds Christ’s body together. The church cannot move forward when its members are easily wounded and slow to forgive. The question is not who else this describes, but whether we are willing to put on love, let go of offense, and grow up into the maturity Christ requires.
