she seemed disillusioned, stressed, frustrated, and disappointed. what's weird is that she thought that there was something wrong with her. i assured her that wherever people are involved, anyone of those characteristics mentioned above will be present...we are all human; that's our pattern and tendency.
but why? why is it that more and more believers are feeling this way about church today? guestimations are that there are between 20 - 25 million xians in the US that don't go anywhere for whatever reason.
as i continued to share with her, i honestly sensed her passion and concern for her church; it was awesome. i believe that she'll be just fine as she re-engages slowly but surely.
just wondering, in your opinion what seems to be the problem with the church today and what do you think is the best way to fix things?
let me know.

Sounds familiar...
I think one of the biggest problems with Christians in general is a lack of passion and apathy/disillusionment towards the church itself and its politics.
The only way I've been able to deal with it is to remind myself that despite the frustrations it is all to glorify God and to help people (which I learned from you, believe it or not).
Easier said than done for sure!
