Religious manhandled indoctrination in America, along with a somewhat sinister and intentional dumbing down of cultural awareness of global suffering, leaves me feeling ignorant of how modern-day believers should approach and worship Jesus Christ. I'm equally curious as to the methods of said modern-day pharisees and saducees who have manipulated the message of salvation through faith.
Far be it from me to judge the churches. No way and no thank you. I can only judge my own attitude with regard to how utterly complacent and comfortable I feel when addressing the King of Kings and Lord of Lords...
Is this a bad thing? I don't think so, but it comes with a loss in the reverential sanctimony which at one time implied respect, admiration, dare I say....awe. Jesus has so saturated our culture, we scarcely recognize him as being anything more than an advertising logo. Look-- we love Jesus, shop here. I write because I care and I only notice how superficial it all seems to be. But! Just when I'm about to give up hope I remember the man himself. He preferred real people.
