The Church they want is the one that shows up when they are alarmed, giving generic comfort from a generic God. And then they want to go back to their normal lives, that excludes God and His will. That's why interfaith services are so common in tragedy. It isn't about God and His comfort because of salvation in Christ. It's really about community. They just want the Church to occasionally tell them that God loves them and is in control when things go bad, and then forget Him when everything seems okay again. But to many, the Church isn't supposed to be a voice proclaiming God's Law; and the message that salvation comes through Christ's death and resurrection alone is also offensive.RPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686240798146992394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691136.post-81566413461420054862013-02-10T18:05:25.999-08:002013-02-10T18:05:25.999-08:00"They are not supposed to care when God's..."They are not supposed to care when God's children are destroying themselves and others, they are only supposed to bless them." I am unclear as to what this statement means, especially with regard to the current controversy. Would you mind clarifying? Thanks.Krishttp://numberingthedays.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
