The church is too focused on itself. Where our treasure is there will be our heart. Our heart is definitely on ourselves. When you listen to the public prayers they are all about us. One Sunday when I was working at Dollywood we had a lot of people with mental and/or physical problems and it occurred to me at that very time there were a group of Christians thanking God that they are not like these people. If God blesses Christians then he curse the ADAs at Dollywood. What do Christians think God is going to provide health, provide safety, etc for them when he doesn't even help the innocent helpless hapless creatures such as in this story. . .
Preachers tell us Jesus is with us, we are never alone. Personally I do not find comfort in having a "friend" who can help me but will not. The church should be more outward focused and less inward focused.
