That's essentially all I have to say...Um, yes.<br /><br />That's essentially all I have to say. You're right. We need to realize that there is only so much responsibility the church must bear for the production of the pallid, watered-down version of Christianity we polish and market like a shiny pair of patent leather Mary Janes. We, as individuals, choose to participate in the auctioning of those Mary Janes. And we forget, that although we talk about "the church" as "the organized church," that we are often members of such a church, and we are definitely members of <i>His</i> church, and if we are unwilling to take the blame for our individual contributions for the derelict attitude the church takes toward the God it claims, we must be equally unwilling to cast the blame onto the church. We are the church. Our decisions are its decisions; its are ours. And if nothing changes, if we, as individuals, don't begin making radical, God-oriented changes in our lives, when He calls for an accounting, we are going to have a lot of explaining to do.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993362069091791525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883008567656405819.post-10340207714259752362012-02-02T20:36:46.432-06:002012-02-02T20:36:46.432-06:00Great post Lauren!

I think we take the whole "God will take care of everything" for granted and forget that being a Christian is being called into action in the fight against Satan... But on a lighter note, I tagged you over on my blog. (Ha, ha... worst segue ever!)~April~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00927595932580249523noreply@blogger.com
