Today’s song is “a lil Church (nobody’s too lost)” by TobyMac. It was released as a single from his “Heaven on My Mind” album released in May 2025.

Toby kept the message of this song pretty simple in an interview he did with K-LOVE. He says that one of his favorite verses of the song is “if nobody’s too lost to get found, I could use a lil Church right now.” He says this about that verse: “What you’ve done, who you’ve hurt, how bad you’ve been hurt…nobody ‘s too lost to be found by the love of Jesus.”

(quoted and summarized from this article: https://www.klove.com/music/blog/new-music/tobymac-could-use-a-lil-church-right-now-9624)

This is something that I think most Christians, past and present, have wrestled with at some point in their journey. That they too broken, too damaged, too far beyond the love of Christ and Jesus compassion and mercy. The truth is – no one is too far gone. No one is too broken for Christ. The arms of God stretch wide enough to cover the expanse of the world. There is nothing too big for God to manage. There is nothing too far gone that God that he hasn’t experienced before. God wants us all to come to him to find comfort, to find peace, to be forgiveness, and then to find our purpose to move forward in the path that he created us to live.

Listen to this verse where it connects to all of us again:

Some things weren’t my choosin’

Sometimes, I led the charge.

Somethings in life are areas that we wish we have had to go through: a divorce, a termination, death of a loved one, and the list goes on. These are things that we wouldn’t ever want our loved ones to go through in their life, let alone we’d want to go through. There are some things that we cause for ourselves that we do go through and then regret it on the other side. The common denominator in all this is that God is with us every step of the way. We sometimes have to learn our lessons on our own through trusting ourselves instead of God. We also have to recognize that we have a heavenly father that wants the best for us. There’s nothing we can do that loses that gift of compassion and mercy from him.

This verse hits me differently in our world today:

Yeah, the church I need is the hands and feet

Of a God who came to love.

The church is more than the building. It’s more than the denomination. It’s more than the religion. It’s more than the teachings. It’s more than the principles. It’s about how we apply the teachings of God into what we say and do. Christians are good about thumping “teachings” onto others whether called for or not. Christians are good about preaching one thing and not living it out. We need the church to come together to meet the needs of their community. To be able to meet people where they are, hear their concerns, provide adequate care where possible, and hear how the church can be a better place for the greater world.
