I'm not sure what good it does to point out that "the church is a mess" or that "Christianity is short on many things" other than to make oneself feel like the exception. If the church is a mess it's been a mess for a long time, and that includes the LR and all of us. I'm sure the Lord knows it's a "mess," if indeed it is.

The solution is to minister positively to the church as one can. Pointing out specific areas of need is one thing, calling the whole thing a mess is like a coach telling his team, "In general, you guys stink!"

"Let's face it?" What good does that do? Oh, yeah. It shows we know something. Bully for us.
