I have nothing more to add..lol
But, am sure this isn't all?
If you want the true answer to the question is you believed both G7 and Sirk.
The power of the Kingdom of Heaven is love expressed in righteousness.
As soon as this becomes judgementalism or a numbers game it is all lost.
And this is the picture painted by two cynics, and you bought it.
The gospel has always been about real need of love and how we express it from
an open heart.
When wealth and security were not so guaranteed, people saw through this world
and wanted to know Christ giving them true security in Him.
But now these realities are being replaced by entertainment, distraction and a cushy
life, why should anyone care? There are no real sins or issues to resolve out there,
the church is the same as the world, just the self righteous hyprocrites are denying
this.
The sad thing is people are believing this and living it.
This happened to Israel and Jeremiah prophesied against the nation.
