A healthy church is not a church that's perfect and without sin. It has not figured everything out.

Has God no living church? He has a church, but it is the church militant, not the church triumphant. We are sorry that there are defective members. . . . While the Lord brings into the church those who are truly converted, Satan at the same time brings persons who are not converted into its fellowship.

One influence is working for the purification of the church, and the other for the corrupting of the people of God.
