Indeed it is a love story gone wrong.... yet I think perhaps this is because that love and faith has been put, in part, into a man, a building, a denomination, a group of people... etc. instead of realizing all along that the church belongs to Jesus.

Maybe this is God's way of bringing the focus back to HIM, where it belongs. It is not "so and so's church" but it is the church of Jesus Christ. It does feel like a divorce and a betrayal of sorts.... but I believe the hand of God is not finished with this congregation of people yet....
