I'm bugged, bothered, and frustrated that a strong portion of mankind has bailed on God as if He did something wrong. Much of the peeling away from Him, in reality, has nothing to do with Him yet He is the One who gets hurt in the process.
Man has built stubborn defenses against spirituality in general because of counterfeits. This is the distant roar from the anti-church people. God has been banned from homes, offices, and schools because of counterfeits...like me on some days...when God has done nothing but beg through allowing His son's torture and ultimate death in hope we will awaken to Truth.
Counterfeit money is everywhere, yet I've never met one person who balks against the use of money. Flim-flam sales teams hit the unsuspecting, yet the masses still make purchases. Rogues rip off the elderly through misrepresentation and, still, the elderly engage in financial strategies.
Why won't people treat God with the same mercy?
Masses are going to live eternally without God and His heaven because they focused on the bad eggs among us....which at times are us....only to rob themselves. Yes there are counterfeits. But you can't have a counterfeit unless there is a truth. God is Truth.
Whatever man may find to dismiss God, rethinking must take place. Blame organized and unorganized churches all one wants, this will not hold up as a good excuse when the Master inquires as to why He was snubbed throughout the many adult years.

Terry,
I am determined to join you in doing whatever I can to change this. Recently, I have been trying to be a little tugboat letting God use me to turn a ship full of people into praising God instead of blaming God. We need to understand that NO MATTER what the circumstances:

GIGATTAATTGIG
.
This little tugboat has recently started spreading these 13 letters throughout Facebook, blogosphere, internet, and email to do just that. Seek and ye shall find the meaning behind: GIGATTAATTGIG!
This is so true. I have a sermon on Seeing Satan in Church. He is always there, but some people are always looking for him to as an excuse to quit.
