"What are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?" so lamented Nietzsche's madman.
Church Of The Holy Sepulcher
If we really believed that we were the temples of the Holy Spirit....
If we really took Him serious about justice, and mercy, and our responsibility to the poor...
I mean if we really believed we were made for the next world, if we really believed He was our reward.....
If we really believed that we were the temples of the Holy Spirit....
If we really took Him serious about justice, and mercy, and our responsibility to the poor...
Mega Churches
If we really believed we serve a risen savior....Would we build these megalithic monuments to the material world. I mean it's not like we use them to house the 145 million orphans in the world or the 180 million homeless. And it's not like God needs a vacation home.
God must be dead, entombed in our churches. For I think, if He lived, men would fear Him. And take Him at His word. That whatever you haven't done for the least of these...
The children who live on garbage dumps....
The children trapped in forced slave labor....
And the ones that starve in an age of excess....
....we haven't done for Him.
