It is so much easier to point our finger at that which is obviously out of God's will and not look at the other 3 pointing back at us- as we sit in our too expensive homes, driving too expensive cars, eating too much food and looking for too many new clothes. All the while those around us starve and go in want. We "worship" in temples built to honor man and listen to peolpe speaking from the puplit as they tell us of how God wants to give us more stuff. We deserve it..... Where is the love? Where is the compassion? Where is the sacrafice for the one the loves us so much? We need to question EVERYTHING that is going on in the western church. If God is in it, then where is the power? Where is the conviction? Where is the differnce? If we are serving the Lord correctly then why do 50% of christian marriages end in divorce? Why are the abortion rates the same in the church as outside of it? Why do only 5% of christians tithe and less than 3% of them ever bring a person to Christ. The truth simply stated.
