Because we often equated the Lord with "Christ and the church."
In other words, many of us ended up consecrating our time, our heart, our money, and our lives not just to the Lord, but to a ministry and a local program. Often we ended up with the church, but not with the Lord or our families.
But I understand that you were different.
