Man.... when you really get out into the world and start to deal with people's real life problems, it get messy. From trying to get someone into rehab to dealing with someone on the issue of premarital sex and other life issues... it gets really messy.
That's one of the reasons I love Riverside. We've got a bunch of people there that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. They jump into this crazy ministry to people and leave the results to Jesus. It is awesome! It is also an emotional roller coaster with lots of highs and just as many lows. At times rewarding, at times defeating. That's what a real relationship with God played out in a hurting world looks like.
I wouldn't trade it for anything. God is moving at Riverside. Are you in the messiness of ministry?
