Today, without diminishing any of my appreciation for what God is doing among us and through us, I want to help us collectively grow in maturity. Many among us quietly and sacrificially and joyfully fulfill many responsibilities and step up when they hear of a need they can meet. But I am concerned when I see professing Christians in general in our nation who treat the Church, the body of Christ, like a hobby or a social club or a source of entertainment, and not as the priority God designs it to be. I'm all the more concerned when I see that attitude in people I know and serve. So in the same mindset as Jesus wrote to the Church near the end of the first century, I want to commend those who are commendable, and I want to nudge those who need a wake-up call, to consider how to better honor the Lord.
