I’m writing today because I am fed up, sick and tired of the casualness of fellow brothers treating issues of infinite importance with blasé – even mocking – attitudes that betray the more radical examine in the Church that is required at this time.
One of the most infuriating aspects of the Church is the profound hypocrisy of some calling the lukewarm landscape to a higher standard one moment and then appealing to them as a bastion of the faith to support our own personal agendas the next!
This morning on Into the Pray – this Easter Sunday morning – I wanted to drop a quick word of testimony about how Easter morning often feels sad to me, based, in part, on what I see in the Church at large.
