One sign that person is getting healthier is when his color is restored. A healthy church will have good color! Too many of our churches are very pale and this often reflects the lack of good health.
The first church in Jerusalem is a model for us. They had a wide variety of people of all races and cultures within their body. Seventeen different nationalities were listed in Acts 2. They were not all white-skinnned believers. They were a mixed congregation and probably had many inter-racial marriages. They had healthy color.
All it takes is a little more openness, an embracing spirit, and your color will change.
We need some healthy color in our churches. It will keep a lot of our churches from dying.
