We need the tension

We need someone to challenge us.

We need to be compelled to think about things that we wouldn't think about on our own.

We need pastors, teachers, and our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to show us from the Bible where we're wrong.

We need the uncomfortable feeling, the tension, the conviction, the answers to the WHY's.

We can't avoid these things.

If we do, we'll never grow to be more Christ like.
