Good morning Ariel, okay, here are some of endless examples. Blessed are the poor in spirit (Are we poor in spirit?) Blessed are those who mourn (Do we morun for our sins and others' pains?) Blessed are the meek (Are we gentle?) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (Are we do so?) Blessed are the merciful (Are we merciful?) Blessed are the pure in heart (Are we pure in heart?) Blessed are the peacemakers (Do we make peace?) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake (Or do we avoit it?) If the church is a corporation, it has only planning but doesn't implement or monitor it to correct itself). Look at the people who come to the church. Most of them are abandoned by the church (of course they also have their own responsibilies) because the church gives a sermon but doesn't know or doesn't care what their real life is (how they reflect the faith on their daily life). Have you ever asked each person about what agony s/he has, what spritural help s/he needs, or what sins keeps him/her from living a holy life? Have you ever checked if s/he grows in faith and holiness? In Love and Truth, |

Hello 123, Again, it would REALLY help if you could be more specific in your criticisms! You're way too general by taking a view from 50,000 feet up. Can you get down to a few hundered feet? Aside from needing to consider the context and not being overly literal in you apporach to scripture, let me ask you this: Are you doing all these things you say are lacking? Are you (123) poor in spirit? Are you all these things? It's easy to point a finger without first looking in the mirror:-) Specifically: HOW are most abandoned by the church? HOW the church gives a sermon but doesn't know or doesn't care what their real life is? Have YOU ever asked each person about what agony s/he has, what spritural help s/he needs, or what sins keeps him/her from living a holy life? Have YOU ever checked if s/he grows in faith and holiness? Is this happening in your church or are these just general criticisms? Are you a personal eye-witness to these seeming atrocities, or are you just venting frustration? WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL THIS? DO YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS!!! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
