No need to look beyond our own pews to see people that are disaffected by the crucifixion and just going through the motions. It is not just non-believers that are at odds with the Word. Sorry, a little disheartened today by the lack of real vigor in the church. My limited knowledge and lack of experience is seen as full of God's grace. I'm not worthy of the praise and yet because it seems like I am willing to listen to the Word, I must be something great. I'm nothing, and I hope everyone gets it through their head that without God, they too, are nothing.
