Consider this artcile in today's Tennessean. The story is about a group of church members filing a lawsuit against their church leadership over finanicial records. And this relates to loving God and loving each other (commandments 1 & 2) how exactly? It seems like these members care more about the legacy of a building than glorifying God. This is a good reminder that we must never love the instituion more than the Lord Jesus and our fellow brothers in Christ.
Around the turn of the century, the London Times invited several eminent authors to write essays on the theme "What's Wrong with the World?" G.K. Chesterton's contribution took the form of a letter:
Dear Sirs,
I am.
Sincerely yours,
G. K. Chesterton
In the same way, I can't help but wonder that if the question was asked, "What's wrong with the church today?" - could the answer be:
Dear Sirs,
We are.
Sincerely yours,
The Body of Christ
