Moving toward the center

Ecclesiocentricity is at once the most radical of positions; while being the most rational and practical.

Trouble, and sin both have the tendency of pushing people to extremes. This is an inevitability, until or unless the ways of God are ever truly understood and practiced.

God's path leads to His church, where the "waters from the sanctuary" flow into the hearts, homes, and trials of all who will but come (to Jesus).

In a world pulled apart by opposing and extreme forces--it is a great comfort to know that the Lord has provided a "common house," a place of refuge, an oasis in the spiritual wasteland.

All kinds of people are welcome in God's church: those from the most divergent backgrounds will all find solace in the same Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
