Church Crud

There's a lot of crud in the church taught and imparted to each new generation of vessels. Woe to those who fill up the minds of young impressionables with man's ways, traditions, and philosophies! How much of the Spirit is truly in the spiritual church today? Are we willing to recognize and admit how much of man's corrupted influence has truly infected the church? How much of man's influence and identity is truly in the church today? Would it not match the level of decline and fruitlessness of the church? Why haven't we been able to put the two and two together? Because we continue in our self-absorption. Because we continue to see the problem as something we can solve. Because we continue to depend on the very cause of the deterioration: US. We are the disease that has crippled ourselves. The will of man is masterfully and powerfully scheming, coniving, and deceiving. When will we acknowledge the DISEASE!?!
