When did it all go wrong? At what point in history did followers of Christ become more consumed with attendance records, neatly pressed shirts, and standing up at the right time than loving and building relationships with others? When did the church become just a building that we go to on a Sunday morning? Since when did the church become afraid to associate with those that aren't like us, to refuse to love on those in the darkest places on earth? When did it all go wrong?

three things I could do without:

1) rock 'n roll versions of classic Christmas songs
changing the key or adding drums doesn't make it original
2) pictures of Jesus
maybe his beard wasn't neatly trimmed. maybe his hair wasn't long and golden brown...maybe he wasn't white.
3) Hallmark Cards
