Why is it that if one attends church but doesn't participate in at least one other weekly program then they are considered to be there simply to sooth there sinful souls, but if one dives in making church of the highest of priorities they are considered a fanatic to the point of being unloving, sinful and out of touch with what people really need?
Why is it that John the baptist who "came neither eating or drinking" was said to have a demon, but Jesus who "came eating and drinking" was said to be "a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!"? (Matthew 11:18-19)
Why is it that the world instinctively knows they are wicked but the church feels obligated to point it out?
Why is it that the church begs for Grace, but refuses to give it to those on the outside?
Why is it that the cities where Jesus did miracles are the same cities that refused to repent? (Matthew 11:20-24)
Why do these questions sound so wrong, so backwards?
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked...Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
~ Revelation 3:15-17 & 19
