As has been true since the Crucifixion, finding true Christians who actually follow Jesus’ teachings is hard, yes.
People joining a church because it’s the right church, even when the pastor flies by personal jet, drives a Lamborghini. The church has become a networking tool.
It’s not the faith, it’s the people.
For that reason, I no longer belong to a church and don’t define myself as Christian, but as a believer in an entity far more significant than I am.
@Mamapolo2016 oh so that's why I've not encountered any: I haven't been cross-crossing North America, checking out every church there is, so I could find those half dozen.
My dad was a pastor, and a good one. I believe in God. I do my best to walk in Jesus’ steps, which is a learning process. I’m in pre-k.
I do not WANT to see this happening. But it’s there, in front of God and everybody. When we don’t react to “a half-dozen” it only enables the thieves. But there are far far more than a half dozen.
@YoMomma I think so much of American culture runs opposite to the gospel teachings, so that even when you are Christian it's hard to act in the way you know you should act.
