The Church is a Whore but She is Still My Mother!"

Unfortunately these words spoken by St. Augustine seem to echo in my heart when I percieve the Church these days. Here in the Western world it seems that many churches are looking for the next cool gimmick or cutting edge technology to sell themselves and be better than the church on the next corner. Instead of unifying the church we seem to be segregating ourselves!

Why? If we all serve the same master then why are we trying so hard to compete against one another like we are a football team in the NFL. We should be sharing ideas and plans and working together as one body to care for the needs of the poor, feed the hungry and share our relationship with Christ. It should be all about sharing and serving together yet it seems that the enemy has decieved us into believing that, " We are right and they are wrong or don't really know what they are doing. We do things better than they do!"

The Church is not a buisness it is the bride of Christ who has called for unity!

When was the last time you sold your mother out in the name of padding numbers and filling up the money bag? Our focus must be on unifying His church and discipleship. Cool music, and technolgy is a great tool but that is what they are...a tool. This is not a 12:00 kickoff on Sunday its CHURCH!
